And with a colour like that remember you can use the shorthand "#aaa;"

Change
.copyright table {
border-top: 1px solid "#aa";
To
.copyright table {
border-top: 1px solid #aa;
ie remove the quotes around the colour.

Re: [css-d] A little border dispute
I am having problems formatting a copyright footer on my pages. A minimal
page and CSS file may be seen at http://trevor.freehomepage.com/copy.html
and http://trevor.freehomepage.com/test.css
The browser is IE as my pages are delivered through an IE component inside
another application.
What I want is to see a single pale line above the copyright block, but the
black border from a normal "table" appears to be trumping the colour setting
I have applied to a ".copyright table".
The "copyleft" block appears as I would expect; the border: 2px solid green
is applied correctly. The ordinary "table" border colour is not being
carried through in this case.
If I insert a "border: none;" in the ".copyright table" style ahead of the
border-top (hoping that this will kill the black border) I still see a black
top border.
What is going on? Can some kind person explain what I obviously don't
understand about inheritance here?

These are the CSS rules applied to the table with the top black border:
.copyright table {
border-bottom:medium none;
border-left:medium none;
border-right:medium none;
}
table {
border:thin solid black;
border-collapse:collapse;
margin-bottom:0.5em;
margin-top:0.5em;
}
table {
font-size:1em;
}
None of them override the black border applied by the "table" declaration
Adding border-color:#AA; to the first declaration will solve the problem.
The Firebug extension to Firefox is very useful when it comes to
troubleshooting this kind of problem

[css-d] A little border dispute
Hi I am having problems formatting a copyright footer on my pages. A minimal page and CSS file may be seen at http://trevor.freehomepage.com/copy.html and http://trevor.freehomepage.com/test.css (sorry about the advertising). The browser is IE as my pages are delivered through an IE component inside another application. What I want is to see a single pale line above the copyright block, but the black border from a normal "table" appears to be trumping the colour setting I have applied to a ".copyright table". The "copyleft" block appears as I would expect; the border: 2px solid green is applied correctly. The ordinary "table" border colour is not being carried through in this case. If I insert a "border: none;" in the ".copyright table" style ahead of the border-top (hoping that this will kill the black border) I still see a black top border. What is going on? Can some kind person explain what I obviously don't understand about inheritance here?
