CSS Borders – CSS Tutorial

1. Border Width

The border-width property defines the thickness of the border. You can use pixels or keywords like thin, medium, and thick.

div {
  border-width: 5px;
}

You can set different widths for each side of the element:

div {
  border-top-width: 5px;
  border-right-width: 10px;
  border-bottom-width: 15px;
  border-left-width: 20px;
}

2. Border Style

The border-style property defines the style of the border. Common values include:

solid
dashed
dotted
double
groove

div {
  border-style: solid;
}

3. Border Color

The border-color property defines the color of the border. You can use any CSS color format (name, HEX, RGB, etc.).

div {
  border-color: red;
}

Set individual border colors for each side:

div {
  border-top-color: blue;
  border-right-color: green;
}

4. Shorthand Border Property

The shorthand border property combines width, style, and color in one line:

div {
  border: 2px solid black;
}
