CSS Border Properties

The CSS allow you to set styles for the border of any HTML element. With CSS border properties, you can set the style, color, width of that border.

The border-style property has the following values: none, hidden, dashed, dotted, double, groove, inset, outset, ridge and solid.

Example:

h1.none {

border-style: none;

}

h1.dotted {

border-style: dotted;

}

h1.double {
