Set the Border Properties
By Stephen Bucaro
Use the border property as a shorthand method to set all three border
properties in one declaration. You can set from one to three properties. The
properties must be in the order: width, style, color.
Below is an example of using inline style to set the border properties for a span.
<span style="border: 2px solid blue;">Border Property Shorthand</span>
Border Property Shorthand
Note that there are no commas or semicolons between the property values.
Border Width Values
Border width is the thickness of the border in pixels, or the name values:
thin, medium, or thick.
Border Style Values
The border style value can be none, dotted, dashed, solid, double, outset, inset,
grove, or ridge.
Border Color Values
The border color can be set using a color name, hexadecimal notation, or an
rgb tripplet. An example of hexadecimal notation is #0000ff (hexadecimal
for the color blue). An example of rgb tripplet is rgb(0,255,0) (rgb for the color green).
