Borders Using CSS

[doug2r]

Using CSS, I want to put white lines between each of my navigation menu items.

Here are the relevant style sheet entries:

#container {
width:780px;
margin:auto;
min-height:100%;
background:White;
}

#navmenu {
margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style:none;
height:200px;
width:145px;
float:left;
}

#navmenu li a {
color:#FFFFFF;
background:#990000;
height:20px;
width:115px;
text-decoration :none;
padding-left:10px;
padding-top:5px;
font-weight:bold;
display:block;
line-height:15px;
text-align:left;
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
background-color: #990000;
}

Here is the relevant body mark up:

<div id="container">
<ul id="navmenu">
<li><a href="Item1.html"></a>Item 1</li>
<li><a href="Forums.html">Item 2</a></li>
<li><a href="Download.html">Item 3</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

I have tried adding:

border-bottom-color: white;
border-bottom-width: 5px;
border-bottom-style: solid;

to the two

navigation

CSS entries above, and it does nothing.

How can I get this bottom white bordr on my navigation menu?

Thanks.

#navmenu li {border-bottom: 5px solid white;}

You gave me:

#navmenu li {border-bottom: 5px solid white;}

That didn't work for me. I found out if I got rid of the braces that it worked. Here's what I ended up using in the external .css file under the #navmenu li section:

border-bottom: 1px solid white;

and that did it.

I'm a CSS newbie, and this is the first time I've seen multiple arguments like this. That sent me to my CSS book to learn more.

Thanks so much.

The braces should really work. It seems like you probably didn't know how to implement give CSS properly. It helps when you post all of your not just snippets. A link is always best.
