If you remove "solid" why does the top bar disappear? Why didn't we have to put solid for the background colour?

The CSS property border accepts 3 values: border-style, border-color, and border-width. If border-style has not been specified earlier in the CSS code then the browser doesn't know what you want it to be, and it ends up with no border. The CSS property background-color only uses a single value, the color itself.
