Remarks
The border-right property is a composite property that sets the width, style, and color values for the right border of an object.
All individual border properties not set by the composite border-right property are set to their default values. For example, the default value for width is medium.
If a color is not specified, the text color is used.
For more information about supported colors, see the Color Table.
As of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5, this property applies to inline elements. With earlier versions of Windows Internet Explorer, inline elements must have an absolute position or layout to use this property. Element layout is set by providing a value for the height property or the width property.
Examples
The following examples use the border-right property and the border-right attribute to specify the composite properties.
This example uses a call to an embedded (global) style sheet to change the attributes of the right border when an onmouseover event occurs.
Code example: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/border-right.htm
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
TD { border-right-style:solid; border-width:0.3cm }
.change { border-right-style:groove }
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD onmouseover="this.className='change'"
onmouseout="this.className=''">
<IMG src="sphere.jpg"></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
This example uses inline scripting to change the attributes of the right border when an onmouseover event occurs.
Code example: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/borderRight.htm
<TD onmouseover="this.style.borderRight='0.3cm groove yellow'">
