Syntax

HTML Scripting

{ border-top-color : sColor }

object . style.borderTopColor [ = 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 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.

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.

<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>

This example uses inline scripting to change the color of the top border to blue when an onmouseover event occurs.
