what to use instead of bordercolor

[Big Bill]

I see that doesn't validate, odd as some validators seem to think it
does (or I misread them).
So should I be using a css value instead?

Yep. If it's a matter of how it's going to look, you should be using CSS
to do it.

<selector> {
border-color: <hex value or colour name>;
}

Except for the < and the >, which don't belong in the CSS... I see what
you're doing, but perhaps [ and ] are clearer for the less initiated.

td {border:2px dotted blue;}
td {border:1px solid red;}
table {border:2em ridge #993;}

Just use the [border:solid 1px red] method.

<div id="id" style="border:solid 1px #F00">

Yeah, I didn't think that through very well. Thanks for the clarification.
