Chris, David and Tim: Great thanks to the three of you for your examples and links to w3.org. I'm very happy that there are shorthand rules for borders by which I can now streamline my declarations.

David's link is a good starting spot -- but I'll move you up a couple of paragraphs: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html#border-properties There are something like 20 different border rules, plus value shorthands. For you example: > .someClass > > { > > border-top: 1px solid #CCC; > > border-left: 1px solid #CCC; > > border-bottom: 2px solid #666; > > border-right: 2px solid #666; > > } ...you could do something like border: 1px solid; border-width: 1px 2px 2px 1px; border-color: #ccc #666 #666 #ccc; There are other options as well (like Chris's).
