How to set a border for an HTML div tag

border, css, html

Solution

Try being explicit about all the border properties. For example:

border:1px solid black;

See Border shorthand property. Although the other bits are optional some browsers don't set the width or colour to a default you'd expect. In your case I'd bet that it's the width that's zero unless specified.

Problem

I am trying to define a border around a div tag in HTML. In some browsers the border does not appear. Here is my HTML code: ``` <div id="divActivites" name="divActivites" style="border:thin"> <textarea id="inActivities" name="inActivities" style="border:solid"> </textarea> </div> ``` How do I set a border for an HTML div tag?
