The CSS border properties allow you to specify the style, width, and color of an element’s border.

CSS Border Style

The border-style property specifies what kind of border to display.

The following values are allowed:

  • dotted – Defines a dotted border
  • dashed – Defines a dashed border
  • solid – Defines a solid border
  • double – Defines a double border
  • groove – Defines a 3D grooved border. The effect depends on the border-color value
  • ridge – Defines a 3D ridged border. The effect depends on the border-color value
  • inset – Defines a 3D inset border. The effect depends on the border-color value
  • outset – Defines a 3D outset border. The effect depends on the border-color value
  • none – Defines no border
  • hidden – 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).
