Sets or retrieves the color of the bottom border of the object.

Syntax

HTML { border-bottom-color : sColor }
Scripting object.style.borderBottomColor [ = sColor ]

HTML	{ border-bottom-color : sColor }
Scripting	object.style.borderBottomColor [ = sColor ]

Possible Values

sColor Variant that specifies or receives one of the color names or RGB values in the Color Table.
The property is read/write for all objects except the following, for which it is read-only: currentStyle. The property has no default value. The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) attribute is not inherited.
Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see About Dynamic Properties.

Remarks

As of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5, this property applies to inline elements. With earlier versions of Internet Explorer, inline elements must have an absolute?A HREF="../properties/position.html">position or layout to use this property. Element layout is set by providing a value for the height property or the width property.
Some browsers do not recognize color names, but all browsers should recognize RGB color values and display them correctly.
