Cascading Style Sheets Syntax

How to create borders style using image ?

Another exciting new border feature of CSS3 is the property border-image. With this feature you can define an image to be used instead of the normal border of an element. This feature is actually split up into a couple of properties: border-image and border-corner-image. These two values are shorthands for:

• border-image:
  • border-top-image
  • border-right-image
  • border-bottom-image
  • border-left-image

• border-corner-image:
  • border-top-left-image
  • border-top-right-image
  • border-bottom-left-image
  • border-bottom-right-image

border-image currently works in Safari and Firefox 3.1 (Alpha). The syntax to use it is:

border-image: url(border.png) 27 27 27 27 round round;

Which results in:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

or

border-image: url(border.png) 27 27 27 27 stretch stretch;

Which then results in:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

For those of you not so lucky as to be able to see this, here are screenshots of the two examples.

How to set colored borders style using CSS 3 ?

W3C has offered some new options for borders in CSS3, of which, next to rounded borders, border-color is also very interesting.

Mozila/Firefox has implemented this function, which allows you to create cool colored borders.

This is an example:

The CSS code for this is:

border: 8px solid #000;
-moz-border-bottom-colors: #555 #666 #777 #888 #999 #aaa #bbb #ccc;
-moz-border-top-colors: #555 #666 #777 #888 #999 #aaa #bbb #ccc;
-moz-border-left-colors: #555 #666 #777 #888 #999 #aaa #bbb #ccc;
-moz-border-right-colors: #555 #666 #777 #888 #999 #aaa #bbb #ccc;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 15px;

And of course, you can also do cool color stuff:
