stretch

Computed value:

Description:
Defines the repetition pattern (or lack thereof) of the sides of a border image. stretch causes
a single copy of the image to be stretched to fit the border segment (top, right, bottom, or left).
repeat “tiles” the image in a manner familiar from background images, though border im-
ages are only ever tiled along one axis. round “tiles” the border image as many times as it will
fit without clipping, then (if necessary) scales the entire set of tiled images to exactly fit the
border segment.
Examples:
div.starry {border-image-repeat: repeat;}
aside {border-image-repeat: stretch round;}
Note:
As of early 2011, browsers did not support border-image-repeat . It is included because
border-image (which encompasses border-image-repeat ) wassupported and browsers
were expected to add border-image-repeat support by the end of 2011.
