CSS Border Property With Practical Examples

Description

The border CSS property defines the border-width, border-hight, border-color, border-style, border-width and much more.
Like all properties, a missing value for one of the longhand properties is set to the corresponding initial value. Also note that border-image, though not settable using this shorthand, is reset to its initial value, that is, none. This allows to use border to reset any border settings set earlier in the cascade.
