Style Definition Border panel

Use the Border panel of the CSS Style Definition dialog box to define settings for styles controlling borders around elements. See also Using CSS style sheets and Editing an external CSS style sheet.

To open the Style Definition dialog box, choose Window > CSS Styles and click the Open Style Sheet icon. (You can also select Edit Style Sheet or New Style from the Style pop-up menu.) In the dialog box that appears, choose a style and click Edit. Click Border on the left side of the dialog box. Leave any of the following attributes empty if they are not important to the style:

Width sets the thickness of the element's border. Dreamweaver does not display this attribute in the Document window. The width attribute is supported by both browsers.

Color sets the color of the border. You can set each side's color independently, but the display depends on the browser. Dreamweaver does not display this attribute in the Document window. The color attribute is supported by Netscape but not IE.

Style determines the style of the border, but the display depends on the browser. Dreamweaver does not display this attribute in the Document window. The style attribute is supported by both browsers.
