CSS came along, but wasn't immediately necessary. Then Opera changed its table border colours for something much darker, and the chase was afoot. I can lighten the border with CSS (and do), but the dark side remains too dark for me. It's not quite enough to push me into the Internet Explorer camp. -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk

Not everyone uses Opera, in fact most everybody uses something else. CSS or via HTML attribute you were *never* guaranteed that the ridge, groove, inset, or outset border would look exactly the same to all your visitors. You are designing for your site's visitors, not for yourself right? -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com

Those properties just need to be exposed to the user. ie: borderColorLight borderColorDark borderColorLightLeft,Right,Top, and Bottom borderColorDarkLeft,Right,Top, and Bottom -- Norman Registered Linux user #461062 |
