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

The following values are allowed:

  • dotted- Defines a dotted border
  • dotted- 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).
