<p>The <strong class=css>border</strong> property is a shorthand for setting the <a href="border-width.html">width</a>, <a href="border-style.html">style</a>, and <a href="border-color.html">color</a> of an element's border.
<p>Examples of border declarations include:</p>
<pre><code class=css>H2 { border: groove 3em }
A:link { border: solid blue }
A:visited { border: thin dotted #800080 }
A:active { border: thick double red }</code></pre>
<p>The <strong class=css>border</strong> property can only set all four borders; only one border width and border style may be given. To give different values to an element's four borders, an author must use one or more of the <strong class=css><a href="border-top.html">border-top</a></strong>, <strong class=css><a href="border-right.html">border-right</a></strong>, <strong class=css><a href="border-bottom.html">border-bottom</a></strong>, <strong class=css><a href="border-left.html">border-left</a></strong>, <strong class=css><a href="border-color.html">border-color</a></strong>, <strong class=css><a href="border-width.html">border-width</a></strong>, <strong class=css><a href="border-style.html">border-style</a></strong>, <strong class=css><a href="border-top-width.html">border-top-width</a></strong>, <strong class=css><a href="border-right-width.html">border-right-width</a></strong>, <strong class=css><a href="border-bottom-width.html">border-bottom-width</a></strong>, or <strong class=css><a href="border-left-width.html">border-left-width</a></strong> properties.</p>
