When coding explicit black borders within a table that contains white text the borders are appearing grey instead of black.

Hi,

Usually people don't respond to a question with another one :), but here I must say - Can you please attach a code snippet to demonstrate your issue? Code related problems can be interpreted much easier if having code along side.

Thanks!

Thanks for your speedy reply. Sure thing. Here it is:

  1. Fore color must be white
  2. Border color must be black
  3. Background color must be #93BEE2
  4. Chrome: perfect - no issues
  5. IE: border color between 2 columns is grey not black
  6. FF: border colors are all grey not black

style="border-color:Black;border-width:1px;border-style:solid;font-family:Verdana;font-size:8pt;border-collapse:collapse;"> <tr style="color:White;background-color:#93BEE2;border-color:Black;border-width:1px;border-style:Solid;font-weight:normal;"> <th scope="col" style="width:140px;">col1</th> <th scope="col" style="width:140px;">col2</th> </tr>

Any assistance would be appreciated.

There is a code example in the system details list.

You get the gray border colors because there is no DOCTYPE and Firefox is using quirk mode.

See:

  • resource://gre-resources/quirk.css 
table, td, th, tr, thead, tbody, tfoot, colgroup, col {
  border-color: gray;
}

To get the borders of the TH elements in black you need to apply the CSS settings to the TH elements or otherwise they are inherited from the text color (white).
It is easier and less problems with maintaining if you use a stylesheet to apply the CSS rules instead of embedding the style rules in each element.
