Remarks
The border-right property is a shorthand property that sets the width, style, and color values for the right border of an object.
All individual border properties not set by the shorthand 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.

div {
border: 2px solid black;
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
}
.right {
border-right: 2px dashed #00BFFF;
