border-bottom Attribute | borderBottom Property


Sets or retrieves the properties of the bottom border of the object.

Syntax

HTML{ border-bottom: sBottom }
Scriptingobject.style.borderBottom [ = sBottom ]

Possible Values

sBottom String that specifies one or more of the following space-delimited values:
widthAny of the range of width values available to the borderBottomWidth property.
styleAny of the range of style values available to the borderBottomStyle property.
colorAny of the range of color values available to the borderBottomColor property.

The property is read/write with a default value of medium none; the cascading style sheets (CSS) attribute is not inherited.

Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see Dynamic Properties.

Remarks

The borderBottom property is a composite property that sets the width, color, and style values for the bottom border of an object.

All individual border properties not set by the composite borderBottom property are set to their default values. For example, the default value for width is medium.

To use this property, inline elements must have an absolute position or layout. Element layout is set by providing a value for the height property or the width property.

If a color is not specified, the text color is used.

For more information about supported colors, see the Color Table.

Example

The following examples use the borderBottom property and the border-bottom attribute to specify the various properties for the bottom border.

This example uses a call to an embedded (global) style sheet to change the attributes of the bottom border.

Sample Code

<HEAD>
<STYLE>
    TD { border-bottom:0.5cm solid yellow }
    .change { border-bottom:0.5cm groove pink }
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD onmouseover="this.className='change'"
    onmouseout="this.className=''"><IMG src="sphere.jpg"></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
