How to Use CSS Borders

The border attributes enable you to customize the box’s appearance that represents an element’s border. You may update the attributes of either a border in three ways:

  • The color of a border is specified through the border-color property.
  • The border-style property determines whether a border should be a solid, dashing line, double line, or any result.
  • The width of a border is specified via the border-width property.

Now we’ll look at some instances of how to use various attributes.

The color-of-the-border property

You may modify the border color around an element with the border-color attribute. Using the details, you may alter the color of the bottom, left, top, and right sides of just an element’s border independently.

  • The color of the bottom border is changed by border-bottom-color.
  • The border-top color alters the color of the top edge.
  • The color of the left wall is changed by border-left-color.
  • The color of the right border is changed by border-right-color.

Property with a border

The border-style property allows you to choose between the following border styles:

  • A lone solid line defines a solid border.
  • A dotted border is made up of a sequence of dots.
  • The dashed border is made up of a series of small bars.
  • Two complete lines make up a double border.
  • The groove border appears to be etched into the paper.
  • The ridge border is the polar opposite of the grooved border.
  • Thanks to the inset border, the box seems to be integrated into the page.
  • The box appears to be emerging from the canvas due to the border.
  • Hidden Identical to none, except for handling border-conflict conflicts for table components.

The following attributes can be used to independently modify the style of an element’s bottom, left, top, and right borders.

  • Border-bottom-style modifies the bottom border's appearance.
  • Border-top-style modifies the top border's appearance.
  • Border-left-style alters the arrival of the left border.
  • Border-right-style changes the right border style.

The border-width property is a property that determines how wide the border is. You may control the width of an element’s borders with the border-width attribute. This property’s value can be a length in pixels, points, or centimeters, or it can be set to thin, medium, or thick.

The following properties may be used to independently adjust the width of an element's bottom, top left, and right borders.

  • The border-bottom-width property adjusts the width of the bottom border.
  • Border-top width modifies the top border's width.
  • The border-left-width property adjusts the width of the left border.
  • The border-right-width property adjusts the width of the right border.

The following attributes can be used to modify the look of just an element's bottom, left, top, and right borders independently.

  • Border-bottom-style modifies the bottom border's appearance.
  • Border-top-style modifies the top border's appearance.
  • Border-left-style alters the arrival of the left border.
  • Border-right-style changes the right border style.
