Definition and Usage
The border-inline-start-width
property sets the width of an element's border at the start in the inline direction.
Note: For the border-inline-start-width
property to take effect, the border-inline-start-style
property must be set.
The CSS
border-inline-start-width
property is very similar to CSS properties
border-bottom-width
,
border-left-width
,
border-right-width
and
border-top-width
, but the
border-inline-start-width
property is dependent on inline direction.
Note: The related CSS properties
writing-mode
,
text-orientation
and
direction
define inline direction. This affects where the start and end of a line is and the result of the border-inline-start-width
property. For pages in English, inline direction is left to right and block direction is downward.
