No, you will have to resort to trickery ?
[color=navy]<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<style type="text/css">
#outer {
width:100px;
padding:0 5px;
border-top:1px solid #000;
margin:20px auto;
}
#inner {
height:100px;
background-color:#fcc;
}
</style>

</head>
<body>

<div id="outer">
<div id="inner"></div>
</div>

</body>
</html>[/color]

@WebJoelNov 01.2007 — Or a single-DIV solution is to use existing borders on the sole element:
<div style="width:200px; border-top:10px solid black; border-left:20px solid white; border-right:20px solid white; padding:5px; margin:20px; background-color: pink;">

<p>content goes here</p>

</div>[/QUOTE] Caveat is that if the border-top is more than 1px, you start to get 'picture frame edges' effect.. But maybe this is something you would want(??). ?

Success!
