Set outline style as a solid single line with CSS
The CSS outline-style property with the value solid creates a solid single line outline around an element. This outline appears outside the element's border and does not affect the layout or positioning of other elements.
Syntax
selector {
outline-style: solid;
}
Example
The following example shows how to create a solid outline around a paragraph element −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.solid-outline {
outline-width: 3px;
outline-style: solid;
outline-color: #333;
padding: 15px;
margin: 20px;
background-color: #f0f0f0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="solid-outline">
This text has a 3px solid outline around it.
</p>
</body>
</html>
A paragraph with gray background and a solid black outline (3px thick) appears on the page. The outline surrounds the entire element including its padding.
Conclusion
The outline-style: solid property creates a continuous single line outline around elements. Unlike borders, outlines don't take up space and are ideal for focus indicators and highlighting elements.
