buttons style on IE5.5 and older or AOL 7

[V@no]

Just wondering, why border width doesnt work on IE5.5 (look at login button on left):


I checked on all others browsers/os through http://www.browsercam.com
and it seems only AOL7 and IE5.5- are having this problem...

In the class I have:

Code: [Select]

.button {
  font-family:  Tahoma,Verdana,Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background-color: #D9DDE1;
border: 1px
color: Black;
font-size : 10px;
font-weight : bold;
}
another thing, how come when I add semicolon border: 1px; then it quit showing any borders on any browsers...
do I do something wrong here?

I guess that these browsers doesn't support the border attribute.

When using just border it wants you to define all attributes of it. So a valid border entry would look like this..

Code: [Select]

border: 1px solid #000000;
If you want to just define the width of the border use the following..

Code: [Select]

border-width: 1px;

Thank you very much!
that was it!
and the site is just awsome, I already found so many mistakes in my .css

but one question still stays not answered.
why we can not put semicolon at the end of "border" line?
even on the site u showed in the examples they dont put semicolon.
(just curious)

Interesting, I never noticed that before. I've always put the semicolon at the end and have never noticed any problems. But then again I use a Mac and when on a PC use IE 6.

ah, ok, that's because as u said, I didnt add enough parameters for "border:"

when I add all three parameters I can use semicolon.
