Name
borderColorDark, borderColorLight — NN n/a IE 4 DOM n/a
Synopsis
Read/Write
The 3-D effect of table borders in Internet Explorer is created by
careful positioning of light and dark lines around the page’s
background or default color. You can independently control the colors
used for the dark and light lines by assigning values to the
borderColorDark (left and top edges of the cell)
and borderColorLight (right and bottom edges)
properties.
Typically, you should assign complementary colors to the pair of
properties. There is also no rule that says you must assign a dark
color to borderColorDark. The attributes merely
control a well-defined set of lines so you can predict which lines of
the border change with each attribute.
Example
document.all.myTD.borderColorDark = "blue" document.all.myTD.borderColorLight = "cornflowerblue"
Value
A hexadecimal triplet or plain-language color name. A setting of
empty is interpreted as "#000000" (black). See
Appendix A for acceptable plain-language color
names.
Default
Varies with operating system.
