The border-top
shorthand CSS property sets all the properties of an element's top border.
As with all shorthand properties, border-top
always sets the values of all of the properties that it can set, even if they are not specified. It sets those that are not specified to their default values. This means that ...
border-top-style: dotted; border-top: thick green;
... is actually the same as ...
border-top-style: dotted; border-top: none thick green;
... and the value of border-top-style
given before border-top
is ignored. Since the default value of border-top-style
is none
, not specifying the border-style
part results in no border.
This property is a shorthand for the following CSS properties:
border-top: 1px; border-top: 2px dotted; border-top: medium dashed green;
The three values of the shorthand property can be specified in any order, and one or two of them may be omitted.
<br-width>
border-top-width
.<br-style>
