Thanks for everyone's replies. The solution came from the inimitable
Joel Burton.

I had tried breaking out the bottom border to its own lines.
border-bottom-color: blah;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-width: foo;

Joel recommended using the !important tag. So I did:
border-bottom: solid #3f2cb1 1px !important;

and poof it worked.  after futzing around all day. Hrmph.   Now I need
to go read about this !important tag.  I don't understand it's
requirement for certain things, yet.

Thanks again.  See some of you Thursday.
