Adding Borders Tutorial

You can add borders around your text or images using the following code:

border: 1px solid #000000;

The above code adds a solid black border with the width of 1 pixels. You can change #000000 to another color code, 1 to another number and solid to dotted or dashed. Below are some more border codes:

border: 1px solid #000000;
Adds a solid border to the entire element.
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
Adds a solid border to the right of the element only.
