Hi Eric,
I think we are not on the same page. Create a div and add some text using the toolbar option, then dbl click the layer to open the div dialog pallette. Inside the pallette, go to Style Builder tab and click Border on the left navigation. Now choose some color and border size...
The funny thing here is that the border color do not get reflected in the Normal mode, but works fine in the Preview mode. In our application we do not use Preview mode. I hope this makes sense. Please try to find the solution.
Thanks
