The border property

The border property specifies a color, type, and width of a border for all sides at the same time. It is the shorthand property for border-width, border-style and border-color. Unlike abbreviated properties, it cannot specify a different border for 4 sides at once, but only the same one for all.

Syntax

selector { border: width type color; }

The order of the properties does not matter.

Example

Let's give the element a black border with width of 1px:

<div id="elem"></div> #elem { border: 1px solid black; width: 300px; height: 100px; }
