CSS Outline
CSS Outline
An outline is a line that is drawn around elements, OUTSIDE the borders, to make the element "stand out".
CSS has the following outline properties:
outline-styleoutline-coloroutline-widthoutline-offsetoutline
Note: Outline differs from borders! Unlike the border, the outline is drawn outside the element's border and may overlap other content. Also, the outline is NOT a part of the element's dimensions; the element's total width and height are not affected by the width of the outline.
CSS Outline Style
The outline-style property specifies the style of the outline, and can have one of the following values:
dotted- Defines a dotted outlinedashed- Defines a dashed outlinesolid- Defines a solid outlinedouble- Defines a double outlinegroove- Defines a 3D grooved outlineridge- Defines a 3D ridged outlineinset- Defines a 3D inset outlineoutset- Defines a 3D outset outlinenone- Defines no outlinehidden- Defines a hidden outline
Example
p.dotted {outline-style: dotted;}
p.dashed {outline-style: dashed;}
p.solid {outline-style: solid;}
p.double {outline-style: double;}
p.groove {outline-style: groove;}
p.ridge {outline-style: ridge;}
p.inset {outline-style: inset;}
p.outset {outline-style: outset;}
Note: None of the other outline properties will have any effect, unless the outline-style property is set!
