The CSS property border-inline is a shorthand property that sets the values for different logical inline border attributes, combining them into a single statement.
-
The writing mode, directionality, and text orientation of the element determine how the border-inline attribute is mapped to actual boundaries.
-
Depending on values of writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation, border-inline behaves as either border-top and border-bottom or border-right and border-left properties.
-
Use the border-block property, which sets both border-block-start and border-block-end, to establish borders in other dimension.
Possible values
The border-inline is specified with one or more of the following, in any order:
-
<”border-width”> – The width of the border.
-
<”border-style”> – The line style of the border.
-
<color> – The color of the border.
