CSS Borders
The CSS border properties allow you to specify the style, width, and color of an element's border.
I have borders on all sides.
I have a red bottom border.
I have rounded borders.
CSS Border Style
The border-style property specifies what kind of border to display.
The following values are allowed:
dotted- Defines a dotted borderdashed- Defines a dashed bordersolid- Defines a solid borderdouble- Defines a double bordergroove- Defines a 3D grooved border. The effect depends on the border-color valueridge- Defines a 3D ridged border. The effect depends on the border-color valueinset- Defines a 3D inset border. The effect depends on the border-color valueoutset- Defines a 3D outset border. The effect depends on the border-color valuenone- Defines no borderhidden- Defines a hidden border
The border-style property can have from one to four values (for
the top border, right border, bottom border, and the left border).
