outline
This property is a shorthand form that sets all outline properties at once.
Syntax
outline: outline-color outline-style outline-width;
The allowed values are similar to
border
. The meaning of each is detailed in each individual
property that follows. While outlines are similar to borders, their individual sides cannot be
set. No matter how
outline
properties are set they apply to the whole outline and not
individual sides.
