Formal syntax: <br-width>
border-left-width: 10em /* Any <length> value */

Is either a non-negative explicit <length> value or a keyword denoting the thickness of the left border. The keyword must be one of the following values:

Description |
thin |
|
A thin border |
medium |
|
A medium border |
thick |
|
A thick border |
The specification doesn't define precisely the thickness of each fo the keywords, which is therefore implementation specific. Nevertheless, it requests that the thickness does follow the thin ≤ medium ≤ thick pattern and is constant on a single document.
- inherit
- Represents the calculated value of the border-left-width of the parent's element.
Examples
element {
border-left-width: thin;
border-left-style: solid;
border-left-color: #000;
}
