Image border colours ....

[greg.harvey]

I'm not sure why, but for some reason my image border colour won't work. Here's my CSS:

.img {
	border: 2px solid #FFFFFF;

}

I also tried:

.img {
        border-colour: #FFFFFF;
	border: #FFFFFF;

}

Neither work. My image border resolutely refuses to be anything other than black. Why is this?

Ps -- I worked around it by putting the image in a table cell of equal size with a border, but that's not ideal.

i think the problem is more fundamental...you're using a class selector...that's why.
it would work if, in your image tag, you also add

<img src="whatever.gif" class="img">

but what you want is to define the style for the tag itself, hence

img {
	border: 2px solid #FFFFFF;

}

(without the dot in front of img)

p.s.: it's border-color, not border-colour...CSS uses the yanks' incorrect spelling

[greg.harvey]

Ah, should've mentioned. I tried that too .... still didn't work. I think I must be doing something dumb!

Oh, and thanks for pointing out the spelling. I don't think I typed that in the code, but I can't remember. I'm running on caffeine this morning!

[redux]

give us a link or some code, i might be able to locate the problem ?

[greg.harvey]

That's weird! I'm SURE that's what I did but it works now I've copied and pasted your line there. Tsk! I must've used the English spelling of colour! I'm so stupid in the mornings!

Thanks a lot redux.

Coincidentally, that CSS won't show up in DW. Which is a bit crap! Mozi's happy though, so so am I.

[redux]

yup...never EVER trust dreamweaver's built-in preview (although it's interesting that often DW won't give you an easy way of implementing some code, but will nevertheless display it properly when it shows it in the layout window (case in point: disabled="disabled" attribute for form elements...there's no tickbox or such thing in the properties palette, nevertheless DW knows what it is)

[greg.harvey]

Indeed. I always check independantly in IE and Mozi. I think what screwed me up originally was spelling colour right! A school boy error! Pesky American spellings!

DW's pretty good on the whole (and I love the new MX feature when you're hand coding that second-guesses what code you're after .... normally that kind of feature really annoys my but they've done it well!)
