Values
Description
As with all shorthand properties,border-right always sets the values of all of the properties that it can set, even if they are not specified. It sets those that are not specified to their default values. Consider the following code:
border-right-style: dotted;border-right: thick green;It is actually the same as this one:
border-right-style: dotted;border-right: none thick green;The value ofborder-right-style given beforeborder-right is ignored. Since the default value ofborder-right-style isnone, not specifying theborder-style part results in no border.
