border-top-color Attribute | borderTopColor Property


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

Syntax

HTML{ border-top-color: sColor }
Scriptingobject.style.borderTopColor [ = sColor ]

Possible Values

sColorString that specifies one of the color names or red-green-blue (RGB) values in the Color Table.

The property is read/write with a default value equal to the value of the color property; 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 dynamic propertiesInternet Link.

Remarks

To use this property, inline elements must have an absolute position or layout. 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.

Example

The following examples use the border-top-color attribute and the borderTopColor property to specify the color of the top border.

This example uses a call to an embedded (global) style sheet to change the color of the top border to blue when an onmouseover event occurs.

Sample Code

<HEAD>
<STYLE>
    TD { border-top-color: red;
        border-width: 0.5cm; border-style: groove }
    .blue { border-top-color: blue }  
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<TABLE BORDER>
<TR>
    <TD onmouseover="this.className='blue'"
        onmouseout="this.className=''">
    </TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
