Border Style

This property always must be set in order to see a border on any element. These are the various styles that can be applied to a border:

HTML file: Displayed by browser:
<style>
p.none { border: 1px none #000000; }
p.dotted { border: 1px dotted #000000; }
p.dashed { border: 1px dashed #000000; }
p.solid { border: 1px solid #000000; }
p.double { border: 3px double #000000; }
p.groove { border: 5px groove #98bf21; }
p.ridge { border: 5px ridge #98bf21; }
p.inset { border: 5px inset #98bf21; }
p.outset { border: 5px outset #98bf21; }
</style>
<body>
<p class="none">NONE: Defines no border. This is the same as the "hidden" value.<sup>*1</sup></p>
<p class="dotted">DOTTED: Defines a dotted border</p>
<p class="dashed">DASHED: Defines a dashed border</p>
<p class="solid">SOLID: Defines a solid border</p>
<p class="double">DOUBLE: Defines two borders. The width of the two borders are the same as the border-width value</p>
<p class="groove">GROOVE: Defines a 3D grooved border. The effect depends on the border-color value</p>
<p class="ridge">RIDGE: Defines a 3D ridged border. The effect depends on the border-color value</p>
<p class="inset">INSET: Defines a 3D inset border. The effect depends on the border-color value</p>
<p class="outset">OUTSET: Defines a 3D outset border. The effect depends on the border-color value</p>
</body>

NONE: Defines no border. This is the same as the "hidden" value.*1

DOTTED: Defines a dotted border

DASHED: Defines a dashed border

SOLID: Defines a solid border

DOUBLE: Defines two borders. The width of the two borders are the same as the border-width value

GROOVE: Defines a 3D grooved border. The effect depends on the border-color value

RIDGE: Defines a 3D ridged border. The effect depends on the border-color value

INSET: Defines a 3D inset border. The effect depends on the border-color value

OUTSET: Defines a 3D outset border. The effect depends on the border-color value

*1 In cases of a border collapse, the Hidden value has top priority while None has the lowest priority. In other words, collapsing an Hidden border with a Solid border will result in seeing no border at all. But collapsing a Solid border with a None border will give a collapsed border in Solid style.

I've added a 3px padding to all paragraphs.
