PROPERTY: border-style

border-style : none | hidden | dotted | dashed | solid | double | groove | ridge | inset | outset
 
Compatibility:  IE4+  N4+
Version: Level 1
Inherited: No
 
The border-style property allows you to select the same line style for all four borders. The border-style property is also used in border-left, border-right, and border-top.
 
You can declare one, two, three or four styles:
 
If you declare one style, all four borders will be that style.
 
If you declare two styles, the top and bottom borders will be the first style, the right and left borders will be the second style.
 
If you declare three styles, the top border will be the first, the right border the second, and the bottom and left borders the third style.
 
If you declare four styles, the order is top, right, bottom, left.
 
none
 
The none value is the default. If no style is declared, no border will appear even if other border properties have been set. By declaring none, you can ensure that any previous declaration will not effect the four borders.
 
hidden
 
The same as none, except that it can be used to resolve border conflicts when two different types of borders join or intersect.
