border-style property


What it does:
This property controls the style of a border around an element. You can specify a universal style for the border with one value, or you can control all of the styles by putting the values in this order: top, right, bottom, left. If a value is missing, the missing value is replaced with the value that would be directly opposite it. So, if you omitted a specification for left, it would share the same width as the right border would.

HTML Equivalent:
<body background="URL HERE" bgproperties="fixed">

Values:
none: No border is present. Overrides the border-width value, if present.
dotted: Border is a series of dots.
dashed: Border is a series of dashes.
solid: Border is solid.
groove: Border has the 3D appearance of being "carved into" the surface (opposite of ridge).
ridge: Border has the 3D appearance of popping out of the surface (opposite of groove).
inset: Border has the 3D appearance of being imbedded into the surface (opposite of outset). A difference exists between this value and groove.
outset: Border has the 3D appearance of coming out of the surface (opposite of inset). A difference exists between this value and ridge.
double: Border is made up of two lines. The two lines plus the space in between equals the border-width.

Example:
External Style Sheet: table {border-style: groove inset none groove;}
In-line: <table style="border-style: dotted">
