border style in IE8

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have this piece of html:
<div class="contactFormElement">
<input type="text" class="contactFormElement" name="txtContact"/>
</div>
and in CSS file I have following style
#divContactForm INPUT.contactFormElement {WIDTH: 140px; BORDER: 1px double #CCC;}

In IE8, the border disappear, but when I change "double" to "solid" or other style, the border is shown.
This happens only in IE8, why?

Thank you

Hi,

Please use following:

CSS

.contactFormElement
       {
           width: 140px;
           border: thick double #CCC;
       }

Please do let me know, if you have any doubt.

It didn't fixed the problem. ONLY if I change "double" to "solid" the problem is gone
