border-right Attribute | borderRight Property

Sets or retrieves the properties of the right border of the object.

Syntax

CSS { border-right : sRight }
Scripting [ sRight = ] object.style.borderRight

Possible Values

sRight String that specifies or receives one or more of the following space-delimited values:
width
Any of the range of width values available to the borderRightWidth property.
style
Any of the range of style values available to the borderRightStyle property.
color
Any of the range of color values available to the borderRightColor property.

The property is read/write. The property has a default value of medium none. The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) attribute is not inherited.

DHTML expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s). As of Internet Explorer 8, expressions are supported in IE7 Standards mode and IE5 (Quirks) mode only. For more information, see About Dynamic Properties and Defining Document Compatibility.

Remarks

The borderRight 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 borderRight 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 borderRight 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.


<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>
