Border Style
The border style is the most important of the border qualities because, according to the CSS specification, if there is no border style specified, the border does not exist. In other words, you must always declare the style or other border settings will be ignored.
Figure 19-7 shows the nine border styles you have to choose from.

Warning
There is a bug in Internet Explorer 6 for Windows that causes
borders specified as dotted to
render as dashed.
Border styles can be applied one side at a time or by using the
border-style shortcut
property.
