Try it

Syntax

/* Keyword values */
border-right-width: thin;
border-right-width: medium;
border-right-width: thick;

/* <length> values */
border-right-width: 10em;
border-right-width: 3vmax;
border-right-width: 6px;

/* Global keywords */
border-right-width: inherit;
border-right-width: initial;
border-right-width: revert;
border-right-width: revert-layer;
border-right-width: unset;

Values

<line-width>

Defines the width of the border, either as an explicit nonnegative <length> or a keyword. If it's a keyword, it must be one of the following values:

  • thin
  • medium
  • thick

Note: Because the specification doesn't define the exact thickness denoted by each keyword, the precise result when using one of them is implementation-specific. Nevertheless, they always follow the pattern thin ≤ medium ≤ thick, and the values are constant within a single document.

Formal definition

Initial value medium
Applies to all elements. It also applies to ::first-letter.
Inherited no
Computed value the absolute length or 0 if border-right-style is none or hidden
Animation type a length

Formal syntax

border-right-width = 
<line-width>

<line-width> =
<length [0,∞]> |
thin |
medium |
thick
