More Details for border-image-outset

border-image-outset

The border-image-outset CSS property sets the distance by which an element's border image is set out from its border box.

The parts of the border image that are rendered outside the element's border box with border-image-outset do not trigger overflow scrollbars and don't capture mouse events.

Syntax

/* <length> value */ border-image-outset: 1rem;  /* <number> value */ border-image-outset: 1.5;  /* vertical | horizontal */ border-image-outset: 1 1.2;  /* top | horizontal | bottom */ border-image-outset: 30px 2 45px;  /* top | right | bottom | left */ border-image-outset: 7px 12px 14px 5px;  /* Global values */ border-image-outset: inherit; border-image-outset: initial; border-image-outset: revert; border-image-outset: unset; 

The border-image-outset property may be specified as one, two, three, or four values. Each value is a <length> or <number>. Negative values are invalid and will cause the border-image-outset declaration to be ignored.

If one value is specified, it applies to all four sides. If two values are specified, the first applies to the top and bottom and the second to the left and right. If three values are specified, the first applies to the top, the second to the left and right, and the third to the bottom. If four values are specified, they apply to the top, right, bottom, and left in that order (clockwise).

Values

<length>

The size of the border-image outset as a dimension — a number with a unit.

<number>

The size of the border-image outset as a multiple of the element's corresponding border-widths. For example, if an element has border-width: 1em 2px 0 1.5rem, and border-image-outset: 2, the final border-image-outset would be calculated as 2em 4px 0 3rem.

Random CSS Property

border-start-start-radius

The border-start-start-radius CSS property defines a logical border radius on an element, which maps to a physical border radius that depends on the element's writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation. This is useful when building styles to work regardless of the text orientation and writing mode.
