Property values

Type: BSTR

none (none)

Default. No border is drawn, regardless of any specified border-width.

dotted (dotted)

Border is a dotted line. This value is supported on the Macintosh platform, as of Internet Explorer 4.01, and on the Windows platform, as of Internet Explorer 5.5. It renders as a solid line on UNIX platforms, and on Windows systems running earlier versions of Internet Explorer.

dashed (dashed)

Border is a dashed line. This value is supported on the Macintosh platform as of Internet Explorer 4.01 and on the Windows platform, as of Internet Explorer 5.5. It renders as a solid line on UNIX platforms, and on Windows systems running earlier versions of Internet Explorer.

solid (solid)

Border is a solid line.

double (double)

Border is a double line drawn on top of the background of the object. The sum of the two single lines and the space between equals the border-width value. The border width must be at least 3 pixels wide to draw a double border.

groove (groove)

3-D groove is drawn in colors based on the value.

ridge (ridge)

3-D ridge is drawn in colors based on the value.

inset (inset)

3-D inset is drawn in colors based on the value.

outset (outset)

window-inset (window-inset)

Internet Explorer 6 and later. Same as inset with a thin outside border.

hidden (hidden)

Internet Explorer 8. Same as none, except in terms of conflict resolution of collapsed borders. Any element with a hidden border suppresses all shared borders at that location. Borders with a style of none have the lowest priority.
