Definition and Usage
The border shorthand property sets all the border properties in one declaration.
The properties that can be set, are (in order): border-width, border-style, and border-color.
It does not matter if one of the values above are missing, e.g. border:solid #ff0000; is allowed.

| Version: | CSS1 |
| JavaScript syntax: | object.style.border="3px solid blue" |
