I need a line....margin top or margin bottom?

[intcon]

Hi all..

Working on this website (my first full CSS layout) and the guy has decided to change the bottom black box to just a black line above the bottom navigation.
test site
css
easy! so I removed the black background from the #footer and added in margin-top: 2px and margin-top-color: #000 and voila! nothing happened. shouldn't that have worked? Or am I missing something obvious?

What in the world is “margin-top-color”?

I’d suggest border-top: 2px solid black;

Hello intcon,
You're wanting a border instead of a background color.
Change #footer to look like this-

#footer {
border-top: 1px solid #000;
clear: both;
}

VIP is right, there's no such thing as margin-top-color and I think the validator would have shown that to you.

lol..sorry, that's what dreamweaver suggested i use to make the top border black..
bless you again excavator! that's the right answer...thanks so much!

Gotta wonder about DW sometimes...

VIP had it right too, and before me.
