CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a document written in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). CSS provides a wide range of properties to style the HTML elements. One of the properties is the border-inline-width property.
The border-inline-width property is used to set the width of the inline borders of an element. The inline borders are the borders that run along the inline content of an element. The inline content is the content that flows within the text of a paragraph or a heading. The border-inline-width property can be used to set the width of the top, bottom, left, and right inline borders of an element.
The border-inline-width property can take the following values:
thin: sets the width of the inline border to a thin valuemedium: sets the width of the inline border to a medium valuethick: sets the width of the inline border to a thick valuelength: sets the width of the inline border to a specific length value (in pixels, ems, rems, etc.)initial: sets the width of the inline border to its default valueinherit: inherits the width of the inline border from its parent elementLet's take a look at some code examples to understand the usage of the border-inline-width property:
In this example, we will set the width of all the inline borders of a paragraph element to 2 pixels:
<p style="border-inline-width: 2px;">
This is a paragraph with a 2-pixel inline border.
</p>
In this example, we will set the width of the top and bottom inline borders of a paragraph element to 2 pixels, and the width of the left and right inline borders to 4 pixels:
<p style="border-inline-width: 2px 4px;">
This is a paragraph with a 2-pixel top and bottom inline border, and a 4-pixel left and right inline border.
</p>
In this example, we will set the width of the top and bottom inline borders of a paragraph element to 10 pixels, and the width of the left and right inline borders to 20 pixels:
<p style="border-inline-width: 10px 20px;">
This is a paragraph with a 10-pixel top and bottom inline border, and a 20-pixel left and right inline border.
</p>
In this example, we will set the width of the inline borders of a paragraph element to its default value:
<p style="border-inline-width: initial;">
This is a paragraph with the default inline border width.
</p>
In this example, we will inherit the width of the inline borders of a paragraph element from its parent element:
<div style="border-inline-width: 2px;">
<p style="border-inline-width: inherit;">
This is a paragraph with the same inline border width as its parent element.
</p>
</div>
The border-inline-width property is a useful property in CSS for setting the width of the inline borders of an element. It provides a wide range of values to set the width of the inline borders, including length values, thin, medium, and thick values, as well as the initial and inherit values. By using the border-inline-width property, we can add visual interest to our HTML elements and make them stand out.
