CSS BORDER

This is a shorthand property which allows an author to specify the border-width, border-style, and border-color for all the borders of an element's rendering box at once. Unlike the 'margin' and 'padding' properties, this property cannot specify different values for each side. To do this, use the properties for each side instead ('border-top', 'border-right', 'border-bottom' and 'border-left'.)

Example

blockquote { border: medium dashed #ff0000 }

This is some text
