padding: 10px;
margin: 10px 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="dashed-border">

</p>
</body>
</html>
Example: Multiple Border Styles
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.border-demo {
border-width: 3px;
border-color: #333;
padding: 15px;
margin: 10px 0;
}
.solid { border-bottom-style: solid; }
.dashed { border-bottom-style: dashed; }
.dotted { border-bottom-style: dotted; }
.double { border-bottom-style: double; }
.groove { border-bottom-style: groove; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="border-demo solid">Solid bottom border</div>
<div class="border-demo dashed">Dashed bottom border</div>
<div class="border-demo dotted">Dotted bottom border</div>
<div class="border-demo double">Double bottom border</div>
<div class="border-demo groove">Groove bottom border</div>
</body>
</html>
Key Points
- The border width must be set for the style to be visible
- Border color can be specified separately using
border-bottom-color - The property only affects the bottom border, not other sides
- 3D effects (groove, ridge, inset, outset) work better with thicker borders
Conclusion
The border-bottom-style property provides flexible styling options for bottom borders. Combine it with border-width and border-color for complete border control.
