What is it?

Allowed Values
inherit
[CSS2|CSS2.1] [NS6|S1]

Description:
Explicitly sets the value of this property to that of the parent.
none
[CSS2|CSS2.1] [IE4|N6|O3.5|S1]
Type: Explicit
Description:
No border is rendered. This overrides any value of 'border-width', if present.
hidden
[CSS2|CSS2.1] [O3.5|S1]
Type: Explicit
Description:
Creates the same effect as 'none'. Only difference is for border conflict resolution for table elements.
dotted
[CSS2|CSS2.1] [IE5.5B1|N6|O3.5|S1]
Type: Explicit
Description:
The border is rendered as a series of dots.
dashed

Type: Explicit
Description:
The border is rendered as a series of short lines.
solid
[CSS2|CSS2.1] [IE4|N6|O3.5|S1]
Type: Explicit
Description:
Renders a solid line.
groove
[CSS2|CSS2.1] [IE4|N6|O3.5|S1]
Type: Explicit
Description:
Creates the effect of the border being grooved or carved in the rendering surface (A 3-D groove - the opposite of 'ridge'.) The groove bevel color is rendered based upon the value of the 'color' property.
ridge
[CSS2|CSS2.1] [IE4|N6|O3.5|S1]
Type: Explicit
Description:
Creates the effect of the border being raised from the rendering surface (A 3-D ridge - the opposite of 'groove'.) The ridge bevel color is rendered based upon the value of the 'color' property.
inset
[CSS2|CSS2.1] [IE4|N6|O3.5|S1]
Type: Explicit
Description:
Creates the effect of the border being embedded in the rendering surface (A 3-D inset.) The inset bevel color is rendered based upon the value of the 'color' property. A distinction exists between this value and 'groove'.
outset
[CSS2|CSS2.1] [IE4|N6|O3.5|S1]
Type: Explicit
Description:
Creates the effect of the border coming out of the rendering surface (A 3-D outset - the opposite of 'inset'.) The outset bevel color is rendered based upon the value of the 'color' property. A distinction exists between this value and 'ridge'.
double
[CSS2|CSS2.1] [IE4|N6|O3.5|S1]
Type: Explicit
Description:
A double line drawn on top of the background of the element. The two lines with the space between adds up to the value of the 'border-width' property for the top side.
-moz-bg-inset
[N6]
Type: Explicit
Description:
Mozilla proprietary value - authors should not use this value. The same as the "inset" value, but the element's background color is used to create the inset rendering instead of any border-color specified.
-moz-bg-outset
[N6]
Type: Explicit
Description:
Mozilla proprietary value - authors should not use this value. The same as the "outset" value, but the element's background color is used to create the outset rendering instead of any border-color specified.
Example
