.abc {
border:1px solid #666666;
padding:0px 10px;
background-color:white;
}
<div class="abc"> some text </div>
is ok on IE6 but the border seems not to be applied on IE5
is that correct? is there any trick?
Thanks for your time

border in IE5???
Hi vdonatiello,
It should work, with the border shorthand you should specify the border-style and width as you have done.
Could something else be causing the problem?

border in IE5???
doctype> html 4.01 strict
here is the exact HTML and CSS code:
<div class="footer"> <span class="button"><a href="javascript:window.close();">close window</a></span> </div>
...
.footer {
border-top:1px solid #666666;
text-align:right;
padding:10px;
height:30px;
}
.button, .button a, .button a:link, .button a:visited, .button a:hover, .button a:active {
border:1px solid #666666;
padding:0px 10px;
background-color:white;
color:#666666;
text-decoration:none;
}
...
on IE6 no problem, but on IE5/Win the border and the padding is NOT taken into account, while last 3 attributes (background, text-decoration and color are OK)
thanks very much for your time

border in IE5???
Hi vdonatiello,
I can't see why the border isn't working.
With padding IE5 on windows only pads: body, div, iframe, marquee, table, td, textarea, and tr.
Hope that helps

You should perhaps try changing the order of arguments to the border: attribute. I *think* I read somewhere that you need to put them in a specific order:
border: solid 1px black;
etc. You should also check w3schools.com/css and read the section on borders as it explains some of the incongruities of the browsers and their rendering of browsers. There's loads of little hacks about putting border-style: attribs in, etc.
If I just suck, sorry. I tried!
