Last Updated :
03 Aug, 2023
Borders: Borders are generally used to display an outline around a box or table cell or any other HTML element. In Bootstrap, there are different classes available to add or remove borders. The classes that are used to add borders are referred as Additive classes and those that are used to remove borders are referred as subtractive classes.
Additive Border Classes:
- .border: This class adds a border all around the element.
- .border-top: This class adds a border on the top edge of the element.
- .border-left: This class adds a border on the left edge of the element.
- .border-right: This class adds a border on the right of the element.
- .border-bottom: This class adds a border on the bottom of the element.
Subtractive Border Classes:
- .border-0: This class removes the border from all around the element if exists.
- .border-top-0: This class removes the border from the top edge of the element if exists.
- .border-left-0: This class removes the border from the left edge of the element if exists.
- .border-right-0: This class removes the border from the right of the element if exists.
- .border-bottom-0: This class removes the border from the bottom of the element if exists.
The below program uses all of the additive and subtractive classes to add and remove borders:
