How to set border style with CSS?

To set the border style of an HTML element using CSS, you can use the border property or its individual components: border-width, border-style, and border-color. Here's a brief explanation and example:

Explanation:

1. Using the border shorthand property: You can set the width, style, and color of the border in a single line using the border property.

Example:

p {
  border: 2px solid black;
}

In this example, the paragraph element (<p>) will have a 2-pixel wide, solid black border.

2. Using individual border properties: You can also set each aspect of the border separately using border-width, border-style, and border-color.

Example:

p {
  border-width: 2px;
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: black;
}

This will produce the same result as the previous example.

CSS Border Styles:

There are several border styles you can use with the border-style property, such as:

• solid: A single solid line.
• dashed: A series of square-ended dashes.
• dotted: A series of round dots.
• double: Two parallel solid lines.
• groove: A groove effect.
• ridge: A ridge effect.
• inset: An inset effect.
• outset: An outset effect.

Example with different border styles:

p {
  border-width: 2px;
  border-style: dashed;
  border-color: blue;
}

In this example, the paragraph element will have a 2-pixel wide, dashed blue border.
