           Summary: box having a thick black border because bordercolor not
                    specified in style of <table> tag
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
               URL: https://www209.americanexpress.com/merchant/singlevoice/

        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal

I Steps:
Go to
https://www209.americanexpress.com/merchant/singlevoice/USEng/FrontServlet?request_type=navigate&page=processingMain&merch_ne=ProcSuppl_GreenBar

II Issue:
Notice the shortcut box at top right of webpage. The black box is seen in
FF/Safari/Opera. In IE no black box is seen.

III Conclusion: IE honors the bordercolor property in the <table> tag while FF,
Opera and Safari uses the default black border color that was left out in the
table style="border: 10px solid ;"
Attributes other than 'style' end up at the start of the author sheets in the
cascade.
'style' ends up as its own level in the cascade, after the author sheets.
Syntactically, 'border: solid' is exactly equivalent to 'border: currentColor
solid', the implied color is not treated any less importantly than an explicit
color.Therefore 'style' overrides 'bordercolor'.

IV Other browsers: 
FF: not ok
Opera: not ok
IE 7: ok
