CSS borders

The border properties allow you to specify how the border of the box representing an element should look. There are three properties of a border you can change:

  • The border-color specifies the color of the border.
  • The border-style specifies whether a border should be solid, dashed line, double line, or one of the other possible values.
  • The border-width specifies the width of  the border.
Now, we will see how to use these properties with examples:

The border-color Property

The border-color property allows you to change the color of the border surrounding an element. You can individually change the color of the bottom,left,top and right sides of an elements's border using the properties -

  • border-bottom-color changes the color of the bottom border.
  • border-top-color changes the color of the top border.
  • border-left-color changes the color of the left border.
  • border-right-color changes the color of the right border.
The following example shows the effect of all these properties -

<html>
<head>

<style type="text/css">

p.example1
{
        border:1px solid;
                     border-bottom-color:#009900;
                     border-top-color:#FF0000;
                     border-left-color:#330000;
                     border-right-color:#0000CC;
}
p.example2
{
border: 1px solid;
border-color:#009900;
}

</style>
<head>
<body>

<p class="example1">
         This example is showing all borders in different colors.
</p>

<p class="example2">
         This example is showing all bordes in green color only.
</p>

  • ridge: Border looks the opposite of groove.
  • inset: border makes the box look like it is embedded in the page.
  • outset: Border makes the box look like it is coming out of canvas.
  • hidden: Same as none, except in terms of border-conflict resolution for table elements.
You can individually change the style of the bottom,left,top and right boders of an element using the following properties -
  • border-bottom-style: changes the style of bottom border.
  • border-top-style: changes the style of top border.
