border-width
CSS border-width Property
CSS border-width property sets the widths of all four sides of an element’s border. It is a shorthand property which specifies:
border-top-width, which defines the width of an element’s top border.
border-left-width, which defines the width of an element’s left border.
border-right-width, which defines the width of an element’s right border.
border-bottom-width, which defines the width of an element’s bottom border.
This property has four values. When one value is used, the border-width value will apply to all four sides of the element (i.e. top, right, bottom, left). If two values are used, the first value will apply to the top and bottom of the element. The second value will apply to the left and right sides of the element. If three values are used, the first value will apply to the top of the element. The second value will apply to the right and left sides of the element. The third value will apply to the bottom of the element. When four values are used, the first value will apply to the top of the element. The second value will apply to the right side of the element. The third value will apply to the bottom of the element. The fourth value will apply to the left side of the element.
Firstly you should define border-style property then the border-width property. An element must have borders before you can set the width.
