Definition and Usage

  • Initial medium
  • Applies to all elements

  • Computed Value the absolute length or 0 if border-bottom-style is none or hidden
  • Animatable yes, as a length
  • Canonical order the unique non-ambiguous order defined by the formal grammar

Syntax

Formal syntax: <br-width>
border-bottom-width: 10em    /* Any <length> value */
border-bottom-width: 3vmax
border-bottom-width: 6px
border-bottom-width: thin    /* A keyword */
border-bottom-width: medium
border-bottom-width: thick
border-right-width: inherit

Values

<br-width>
Is either a non-negative explicit <length> value or a keyword denoting the thickness of the bottom border. The keyword must be one of the following values:
thin
 
A thin border
medium
 
A medium border
thick
 
A thick border
The specification doesn't precisely define the thickness of each of the keywords, which is therefore implementation specific. Nevertheless, it requests that the thickness does follow the thin ≤ medium ≤ thick inequality and that the values are constant on a single document.
inherit
Represents the calculated value of the border-bottom-width of the parent's element.

Examples

element {
    border-bottom-width: thin;
    border-bottom-style: solid;
    border-bottom-color: #000;
}
