Hello,

I am needing someone who can tell me why div borders dont work for me in Netscape or Firefox. I am wanting a border around the whole content div. It works in explorer but not in both Netscape and Firefox. Here is the code.

<style>

#container {
background: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0px auto;
text-align: center;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #cccccc;
border: 1px;
width: 700px;
}

</style>

<body>

<div id="container">All my site stuff</div>

</body>

Mr. Plague,

your CSS should read:

border-width: 1px;

not:

border: 1px;

IE will just display it anyway, but more standards compliant browsers such as IE won't parse it unless the syntax is correct.

Try that and let me know if it doesn't work.

Kaiman,

It works, in Firefox and Netscape, now. I have only learned css recently, thanks for clearing this up.
