thescientist Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 www.seasonsnh.com/newsite_testSo on the new site I've developed, in IE7 i get left and right borders on the page, but in FF3 and IE8, I get no borders. I figure that the latter browsers are more standards compliant so I'm assuming there is something wrong with my code, but I made sure everything validates and I don't have anything really weird going on that I can think of. I want the left and right borders if I can get them. The only thing I can think of is that my #main_nav has a -5px margin-top property. Any thoughts?edit: The #content_holder div is 758px wide with a 1px border on each side (to equal 760px). In FF/IE8 you can see there is (what I'm guessing) to be a 2px shortfall on the right hand side of the content_holder because the border does not appear to be rendering, for whatever reason. I know i brought this up before a couple of weeks ago, but that was at the end of another thread I had started, I think so apologize if this appears to be some sort of double post.

Ingolme Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I believe this hack might be the source of the problem: border-color: -moz-use-text-color And this line would prevent any borders from being shown: border-style: none; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescientist Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 http://www.seasonsnh.com/newsite_test/style.csshere's the link to my style sheet. I don't think I have that hack in there, where did you find it?and this is the div in question#content_holder{ width: 758px; border-style: solid; border-left: 1px; border-right: 1px; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 10px; background-repeat: no-repeat; clear: both;} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that probably was generated by firebug since a color isn't specified.Firebug tells me that your #content-holder style is getting border-style: none; from somewhere.

Maybe FF and IE have different default border colours (transparent vs black perhaps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescientist Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Well I looked in my style sheet, and border-style only appears twice. Once in #content_holder with : solid applied to it, and then my #main_nav has a : none in it. I commented it out of #main_nav just to see what would happen but I'm still getting no borders except in IE7. crickey, what the jimminy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I understand the problem now.The problem is this: border-left: 1px; border-right: 1px; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left specifies all the left border properties in one declaration. Since you omitted some information, it took the default value (border-left-style: none).Try this instead: border-width: 0 1px; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
