border-left-color Attribute | borderLeftColor Property

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

Syntax

HTML { border-left-color: sColor }

Scripting object.style.borderLeftColor [ = sColor ]

HTML	{ border-left-color: sColor }
Scripting	object.style.borderLeftColor [ = sColor ]

Possible Values

sColor String 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 properties.

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-left-color attribute and the borderLeftColor property to specify the color of the left border.
This example uses a call to an embedded (global) style sheet to change the color of the left border from red to blue when an onmouseover event occurs.

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