The border Shorthand Property in CSS
The border property is used to define the border properties for an element. It is a shorthand for the following properties −
border-width − medium, thin, thick or a specific length
border-style − solid, dashed, dotted, double
border-color − Set the color
Syntax
The syntax of the CSS border property is as follows −
Selector {
border: /*value*/
}
The value is the border style, width, and color.
The following examples illustrate CSS border property −
