HTML | DOM Style borderStyle Property

Difficulty Level : Basic
Last Updated : 30 Jul, 2019

The DOM Style borderStyle property is used to set or return the border style of an element.

Syntax:

To get the borderStyle
```
object.style.borderStyle
```

To set the borderStyle

object.style.borderStyle = "none | hidden | dotted | dashed | 
solid | double | groove | ridge | inset | outset | initial |
inherit"

Property Values: Each property value with the example.

Value	Effect
none	No border is created. This is the default value.
hidden	Visually same as ‘none’, except it helps during border conflict resolution in table elements.
dotted	Dots are used as the border.
dashed	A dashed line is used as the border.
solid	A single solid line is used as the border.
double	Two lines are used as the border.
groove	A 3D grooved border is displayed. The effect depends on border-color value.
ridge	A 3D ridged border is displayed. The effect depends on border-color value.
inset	A 3D inset border is displayed. The effect depends on border-color value.
outset	A 3D outset border is displayed. The effect depends on border-color value.
initial	Sets the property to its initial value.
inherit	Sets the property to inherit from its parent.

These values are demonstrated with the below examples:

Example-1: Using the none value.
