CSS Border Sides

CSS Border Sides: The CSS border properties allow you to determine the style, width, and color of an element’s border.

The CSS border is a shorthand property used to set the border on an element.

CSS Border – Individual Sides

From the examples on the previous pages, you have seen that it is feasible to determine a different border for each side.

In CSS, there are additionally properties for specifying each of the borders (top, right, bottom, and left):

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
p {
  border-top-style: dotted;
  border-right-style: solid;
  border-bottom-style: dotted;
  border-left-style: solid;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<h2>Individual Border Sides</h2>
<p>2 different border styles.</p>

</body>
</html>

The example above gives the same result as this:

Example

p {
  border-style: dotted solid;
}

So, here is how it works:

If the border-style property has four values:

border-style: dotted solid double dashed;
top border is dotted
right border is solid
bottom border is double
left border is dashed
If the border-style property has three values:

border-style: dotted solid double;
top border is dotted
right and left borders are solid
bottom border is double
If the border-style property has two values:

border-style: dotted solid;
top and bottom borders are dotted
right and left borders are solid
If the border-style property has one value:

border-style: dotted;
all four borders are dotted

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
  text-align: center;
}
/* Four values */
p.four {
  border-style: dotted solid double dashed;
}

/* Three values */
p.three {
  border-style: dotted solid double;
}

/* Two values */
p.two {
  border-style: dotted solid;
}

/* One value */
p.one {
  border-style: dotted;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<h2>Individual Border Sides</h2>
<p class="four">4 different border styles.</p>
<p class="three">3 different border styles.</p>
<p class="two">2 different border styles.</p>
<p class="one">1 border style.</p>

</body>
</html>

The border-style property is used in the example above. However, it also works with border-width and border-color.
