Remarks

The border-left property is a composite property that sets the width, style, and color values for the left border of an object.

All individual border properties not set by the composite border-left property are set to their default values. For example, the default value for width is "medium".

If the color value is not specified, the text color is used.

For more information about supported colors, see the Color Table.

Examples

The following examples use the border-left CSS property and the borderLeft scripting property to specify the composite border-left properties.

This example uses a call to an embedded (global) style sheet to modify the attributes of the left border.

<head>
<style>

<body>

<table>
  <tr>
    <td onmouseout="this.className=''" onmouseover="this.className='change'">
