outline-style

CSS outline-style Property

The outline-style property defines the style of an outline.

It is similar to the border property but there is a difference. The outline is outside of an element’s border and it does not take space. It is drawn around an element’s four sides by default.

The outline-style property has the following values:

  • none

  • hidden

  • dotted

  • dashed

  • solid

  • double

  • groove

  • ridge

  • inset

  • outset

The width and height properties of an element do not include the outline width because the outline is not considered a part of the element’s dimensions.
