CSS | Borders - GeeksforGeeks

CSS border properties allows us to set the style, color and width of the border.
Note : Different properties can be set for all the different borders i.e.top border, right border, bottom border and left border.
Properties of CSS Borders :

Border Style : The border-style property specifies the type of border. None of the other border properties will work without setting the border style.

*groove – Defines a 3D grooved border.
*ridge – Defines a 3D ridged border.
*inset – Defines a 3D inset border.
*outset – Defines a 3D outset border.
*none – Defines no border
*hidden – Defines a hidden border
