border
The border shorthand CSS property sets an element’s border. It sets the values of border-width , border-style , and border-color .
Try it
Constituent properties
This property is a shorthand for the following CSS properties:
Syntax
/* style */ border: solid; /* width | style */ border: 2px dotted; /* style | color */ border: outset #f33; /* width | style | color */ border: medium dashed green; /* Global values */ border: inherit; border: initial; border: revert; border: revert-layer; border: unset;
The border property may be specified using one, two, or three of the values listed below. The order of the values does not matter.
Note: The border will be invisible if its style is not defined. This is because the style defaults to none .
Values
Sets the thickness of the border. Defaults to medium if absent. See border-width .
Sets the style of the border. Defaults to none if absent. See border-style .
Sets the color of the border. Defaults to currentcolor if absent. See border-color .
Description
As with all shorthand properties, any omitted sub-values will be set to their initial value. Importantly, border cannot be used to specify a custom value for border-image , but instead sets it to its initial value, i.e., none .
The border shorthand is especially useful when you want all four borders to be the same. To make them different from each other, however, you can use the longhand border-width , border-style , and border-color properties, which accept different values for each side. Alternatively, you can target one border at a time with the physical (e.g., border-top ) and logical (e.g., border-block-start ) border properties.
Borders vs. outlines
Borders and outlines are very similar. However, outlines differ from borders in the following ways:
- Outlines never take up space, as they are drawn outside of an element’s content.
- According to the spec, outlines don’t have to be rectangular, although they usually are.
Formal definition
- border-width : as each of the properties of the shorthand:
- border-top-width : medium
- border-right-width : medium
- border-bottom-width : medium
- border-left-width : medium
- border-top-style : none
- border-right-style : none
- border-bottom-style : none
- border-left-style : none
- border-top-color : currentcolor
- border-right-color : currentcolor
- border-bottom-color : currentcolor
- border-left-color : currentcolor
- border-width : as each of the properties of the shorthand:
- border-bottom-width : the absolute length or 0 if border-bottom-style is none or hidden
- border-left-width : the absolute length or 0 if border-left-style is none or hidden
- border-right-width : the absolute length or 0 if border-right-style is none or hidden
- border-top-width : the absolute length or 0 if border-top-style is none or hidden
- border-bottom-style : as specified
- border-left-style : as specified
- border-right-style : as specified
- border-top-style : as specified
- border-bottom-color : computed color
- border-left-color : computed color
