CSS CSS Basics (2014) The Box Model Borders

Border not responding to width commands

When using: border-width: 10px 20px; border-style: solid; border-color: #ffa949; my border shows up very thin, regardless to changes made to the border-width. Only once I added border: solid; was the width responsive.

Likewise, when using the shorthand, border: 10px solid #ffa949; the border is thin and does not respond to changes in width.

How strange. I certainly can't replicate this. Are you sure there isn't some other CSS affecting this?

Can you demonstrate this using a workcpace? Then you can make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.
