ie 5 mac - bottom-border color not working

I have been using border styles on form inputs and I have noticed that
on Internet Explorer 5.2 Mac the border color always comes out as
link-colour blue, no matter what color I specify. This also happens if
I try to give a bottom border to a table cell or a div.

Here is an example (see the search box on the homepage):

www.focusdiy.co.uk

I am defining the style like so:

input.blueBox {font: 0.70em Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
height:16px; border:inset 1px solid #345C90;
background-color:#DDEBFF;}

Am I doing anything wrong or is this a known bug (I have looked on a
few websites and it is not mentioned)?

Cheers,
Olly

It's always a good idea to validate your code before asking, that way
you can eliminate simple typos and the like before revealing them in
public...

What if 0.7em is larger than 16 pixels?

>border:inset 1px solid #345C90;

Is it inset or is it solid? It's quite possible that some browsers are
ignoring the 4th value (as border can only take 3 values) and may even
be treating 'solid' as a mangled colour.

Gibberish. The border-style is either "inset" or "solid", not both.
