Constituent properties
This property is a shorthand for the following CSS properties:
Syntax/* Keyword values */
border-style: none;
border-style: hidden;
border-style: dotted;
border-style: dashed;
border-style: solid;
border-style: double;
border-style: groove;
border-style: ridge;
border-style: inset;
border-style: outset;
/* top and bottom | left and right */
border-style: dotted solid;
/* top | left and right | bottom */
border-style: hidden double dashed;
/* top | right | bottom | left */
border-style: none solid dotted dashed;
/* Global values */
border-style: inherit;
border-style: initial;
border-style: revert;
border-style: revert-layer;
border-style: unset;
The border-style
property may be specified using one, two, three, or four values.
Each value is a keyword chosen from the list below.
Values<line-style>
Describes the style of the border. It can have the following values:
none
Like the hidden
keyword, displays no border. Unless a background-image
is set, the computed value of the same side's border-width
will be 0
, even if the specified value is something else. In the case of table cell and border collapsing, the none
value has the lowest priority: if any other conflicting border is set, it will be displayed.
hidden
Like the none
keyword, displays no border. Unless a background-image
is set, the computed value of the same side's border-width
will be 0
, even if the specified value is something else. In the case of table cell and border collapsing, the hidden
value has the highest priority: if any other conflicting border is set, it won't be displayed.
dotted
Displays a series of rounded dots. The spacing of the dots is not defined by the specification and is implementation-specific. The radius of the dots is half the computed value of the same side's border-width
.
dashed
Displays a series of short square-ended dashes or line segments. The exact size and length of the segments are not defined by the specification and are implementation-specific.
solid
Displays a single, straight, solid line.
double
Displays two straight lines that add up to the pixel size defined by border-width
.
groove
Displays a border with a carved appearance. It is the opposite of ridge
.
ridge
Displays a border with an extruded appearance. It is the opposite of groove
.
inset
Displays a border that makes the element appear embedded. It is the opposite of outset
. When applied to a table cell with border-collapse
set to collapsed
, this value behaves like ridge
.
outset
Displays a border that makes the element appear embossed. It is the opposite of inset
. When applied to a table cell with border-collapse
set to collapsed
, this value behaves like groove
.
