I'm going to have to play now to see if a border overlays a background image or /vice versa/. Just as I was thinking about calling it a day for today!


Yup. If you have a background colour and a dotted or dashed border, you can see the colour behind it.

W3C says:

"Authors may specify the background of an element (i.e., its rendering surface) as either a color or an image. In terms of the box model <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html#box-model>, "background" refers to the background of the content <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html#box-content-area>, padding <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html#box-padding-area> and border <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html#box-border-area> areas. Border colors and styles are set with the border properties <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html#border-properties>. Margins are always transparent."

Interesting.  You learn something every day.

Cheers


Peter
