    CSS: Crossing the Border - How to Set the Border Width


    (Page 3 of 4 )

    You can also adjust the width of your borders. It works in much the same way as the style, with the order going: top, right, bottom, left.


    <html>

    <head>

    <style type="text/css">

    p.one

    {

    border-style: solid;

    border-width: 5px;

    text-align: center

    }

    p.two

    {

    border-style: solid;

    border-width: thick

    }

    p.three

    {

    border-style: solid;

    border-width: 5px 10px

    }

    p.four

    {

    border-style: solid;

    border-width: 5px 10px 1px

    }

    p.five

    {

    border-style: solid;

    border-width: 5px 10px 1px medium;

    text-align: center

    }

    </style>

    </head>

    <body>

    <p class="one">Round One!</p>

    <p class="two">Chuck Norris looks at Bruce Lee...</p>

    <p class="three">Bruce Lee looks at Chuck Norris</p>

    <p class="four">Chuck Norris dies.</p>

    <p class="five">Bruce Lee is the winner!</p>

    <p align=center><b>Up next...Michael Jackson versus Adult Macaulay Culkin!</b></p>

    </body>
