border-style
Sets the style of the left, right, top, and bottom borders of the object.
sStyle
String that specifies or receives one of the following values:
none | Default. No border is drawn, regardless of any specified border-width. |
dashed | Border is a dashed line. |
dotted | Border is a dotted line. |
double | Border is a double line drawn on top of the background of the object. The sum of the widths of the two single lines and the space between them equals the border-width value. The border width must be at least 3 pixels wide to draw a double border. |
groove | 3D groove is drawn in colors based on the value. The border-width property of the object must be specified for the style to render correctly. |
inset | 3D inset is drawn in colors based on the value. |
outset | 3D outset is drawn in colors based on the value. |
ridge | 3D ridge is drawn in colors based on the value. |
solid | Border is a solid line. |
window-inset | Border is the same as the inset, but is surrounded by an additional single line, drawn in colors based on the value. |
This property has a default value of none. It is not inherited.
The following example uses the border-style property to specify the border style. This example uses a call to an embedded (global) style sheet to change the style of the border to groove when an onmouseover event occurs:
<head><style>
td { border-style: solid; border-width: 0.5cm; }
.change { border-style: groove; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table border >
<tr>
<td onmouseover="this.className='change '" onmouseout="this.className=''">
<img src="sphere.jpg">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
