CSS Box Problem

[thebigtymer]

I'm trying to make my news layout with CSS. Here's the properties for the news boxes layout.

    #newsbox {
        width:95%;
        float:left;
        text-align:left;
        border:1px #006600;
        }
        
    #newstitle {
        width:100%;
        float:left;
        text-align:left;
        background-color:#006600;
        font-size:14px;
        font-weight:bold;
        }
        
   #newsdate {
        width:100%;
        float:left;
        text-align:left;
        background-color:#C0C0C0;
        font-size:9px;
        font-color:#000000;
        }
        
   #newstext {
        width:100%;
        float:left;
        text-align:left;
        } 

However, when I show the news, the box border around the news item does not show, and the date prints in the wrong color (it should be black, but it shows white). Is there something I'm missing here?

You can see what I mean: Opening 1/1

All other parts of the layout work just peachy. Thanks in advance.

The border is not showing because you haven't defined the border-style:

#newsbox
        {
	width:95%;
        float:left;
        text-align:left;
        border: 1px solid #006600;
        }

For the date use color:#000000; instead of "font-color".

OOPS, this is what happens when you've been running low on sleep and you miss something. It's like looking for that thing you were looking for, and when you're not looking, you find it. Thanks.
