Property values

Type: BSTR

none (none)

Default. No border is drawn, regardless of any specified IHTMLRuleStyle::borderWidth.

dotted (dotted)

Border is a dotted line.

dashed (dashed)

Border is a dashed line.

solid (solid)

Border is a solid line.

double (double)

Border is a double line drawn on top of the background of the object. The sum of the two single lines and the space between equals the IHTMLRuleStyle::borderWidth value. The border width must be at least 3 pixels wide to draw a double border.

groove (groove)

3-D groove is drawn in colors based on the value.

ridge (ridge)

3-D ridge is drawn in colors based on the value.

inset (inset)

3-D inset is drawn in colors based on the value.

Examples

This example uses IHTMLRuleStyle::borderLeftStyle to specify the left border style for a div element.

<body>
   <div id="left"></div> 
</body>

The CSS below specifies double as the default border style for div elements, then sets IHTMLRuleStyle::borderLeftStyle to solid for the div element above. The following image shows the result, a solid left border.

div {
   width: 50px;
   height: 50px;
   border-width: 5px;
   border-style: double;
   border-color: #4169E1;           
}
#left {
   border-left-style: solid;
}
