css tooltip typo

this probably isn't the right place to post but i couldn't find a bug
submission page (although i didn't look to hard). In Dreamweaver MX 2004
7.0.1, when editing the source of a CSS file the autcomplete tooltip for
"border:" says the attributes for the the style is 'border-width'
'border-style' 'color', the CSS Properties side bar says 'style' 'color'
'width' (which is correct) this may not make sense, so I took some screen
shots. I wouldn't even be posting had it not been for the tooltip confusing me
as to which way was correct and as a result, no border ;-)
http://209.59.159.184/gallery/albums/userpics/10014/dwpalette.JPG later.
../shawn ps and yes, i misspelled "solid" in the first screenshot ;-)

I agree that the tooltips should be consistent, but the order of values
in the border shorthand property shouldn't matter. Which order are you
having problems with? In DW or in a certain browser?

Thanks,
Randy

Yeah - this is true since there is no confusion as to which is which -

border: 1px dashed fuschia

The problem I see with the tooltips is that the last property doesn't match
the format of the 2 others:
We have:
"border-width" "border-style" "color"
When we should have:
"border-width" "border-style" "border-color"

People could end up with red text when all they they want is a red border.

Using a color specification in a border style will never color your text.

Murray,
Did you read my post?
The toot tips suggest to use "border-width" "border-style" or "color" *not*
"border-color"
If ones consider to use "color", as suggested, one does get his/her text
colored.

The post is talking about the shorthand representation for defining a border
style. It is complaining about the fact that the tooltip for it in one
place is not in synch with the tooltip for it in another. The point I was
making is that the styles are so mutually exclusive that the order doesn't
make any difference - it is obvious which applies to what when you have -

border: 1px solid red;

That's why I said you didn't read my post
Following the OP, I noticed that the format of the tooltips could lead
someone to use the wrong property.
I said "The problem I see with the tooltips is that the last property
doesn't match the format of the 2 others:"
I didn't make any mention of the order the properties are listed as I think
it is the format that is a problem..
I'm not trying to make a point. There is a problem with the tool tips that
the OP didn't mention; so I thought my reply was appropriate in this thread.

in firefox, the border style did not appear unless they were in a certain order
in the stylesheet. I didn't realize that the order normally didn't matter. it
must have been a css parse error courtesy of a pre-release of firefox. but
non-the-less, the tooltips are inconsistant. ;-)

It couldn't possibly matter.

border:solid 1px red
border:red 1px solid
border:solid red 1px

will all look the same in FF.
