Remarks

The IHTMLRuleStyle::borderLeft property is a composite property that sets the width, style, and color values for the left border of an object.

All individual border properties not set by the composite IHTMLRuleStyle::borderLeft property are set to their default values. For example, the default value for width is "medium".

If the color value is not specified, the text color is used.

For more information about supported colors, see the Color Table.
