Question

style="border:solid 1px transparent" is not working in IE6. Instead it shows a black border.

How to solve this issue?

Answer 1

IE6 does not support a border that is transparent.

With a quick search, I found this workaround:

To
put it to work with IE6, we will
create another rule, that is visible
only in version 6 (the *html hack)
with just two lines of code:

*html .testDiv { 
    border-color: pink;
    filter: chroma(color=pink);
}

… And voila! The ugly black border
around .testDiv magically disappears.

The final things you should have in
mind before using this trick is the
color (both border and chroma color)
in the hack. Make sure you apply a
border-color (and respectively use it
in the chroma filter) that is not used
in that div, as the chroma filter
displays a certain color of the object
and its content as transparent, i.e.
if the border-color in the hack is
orange, and the text in your element
is orange as well, it will disappear
when the orange chroma filter is
applied.
