Is there a hack...

Is there a hack that I am not finding that will cause Netscape and Opera to properly interpret the border specs in this code snippit? Or did I screw it up?

div.letter {
width: 98%;
margin: 5px;
border : outset;
border : silver;
border : 3px;
padding: 5px;
background-color : #ffdebd;
font-family : Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size : 1em;
align-text: left;
margin : 2% 2% 2% 2%;
}

IE properly shows a 3px border in silver with outset style. Netscape and Opera show nothing.

Border can be used alone if you use the shorthand method like David showed you, but if you are specifying properties individually you need to do this :
{...
border-width: 3px;
border-style: outset;
border-color: silver;
...}
IE is usually not as strict in parsing "bad" style.

Get Topstyle Lite - it'll keep you from making up properties. ;) and teach you a lot - it worked for me and I'm usually barely trainable.

Yeah, do what David said ;)
