User agents are supposed to place borders on the element??™s background, but in
Internet Explorer for Windows versions up to and including 7, the background only
reaches the inside edge of the border when the element has a layout (p. 158). This
means that for dotted or dashed borders, the background won??™t be visible through
the spaces within the border. When the element doesn??™t have a layout, the
background will extend under the borders.
When dotted borders are specified as the border-style, and the border??™s width is
only 1px, Internet Explorer for Windows versions up to and including 6 will display
the borders as dashed instead of dotted. At a width of 2px and above, the dotted
borders will display correctly. This glitch was fixed in Internet Explorer Version 7
for cases when all four sides are set to 1px. However, if one of the sides is set to 2px
or more, the 1px dotted borders revert to dashed in IE7.
