CSS Border Width
CSS Border Width
The border-width property specifies the width of the four borders.
The width can be set as a specific size (in px, pt, cm, em, etc) or by using one of the three pre-defined values: thin, medium, or thick:
Example
Demonstration of the different border widths:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<style>
p.one {
border-style: solid;
border-width: 5px;
}

border-style: solid;
border-width: medium;
}
p.three {
border-style: dotted;
border-width: 2px;
}

border-style: dotted;
