The border-property cannot specify different values for the four different sides, it can only specify equal values.. If you need/want different values on the four sides you will need to use border-color, border-width and/or border-style. 

.border
  { border: thin solid red; }
is the same as:
.border { border-width	: thin;
	border-style	: solid;
	border-color	: red;
	}

Borders may be set using the 'shorthand' border property. 
DIV.alert { border: solid red;
	}
