border has 3 components

border: 2px solid black;

is the same as

border-width: 2px; 
border-style: solid; 
border-color: black;

border-style options

• solid
• dotted
• dashed
• double

(each word is surrounded by the border it describes)

• lots more (inset, groove, etc)

border-{side}

you can set each side’s border separately:

aborder-bottom:
     2px solid black;

border-radius

border-radius lets you have rounded corners

border-radius: 10px;

border-radius: 50%; will make a square into a circle!

box-shadow

lets you add a shadow to any element

box-shadow: 5px 5px 8px black;
the first “5px” is the x offset, the second “5px” is the x offset, “8px” is the blur radius, and “black” is the color.

outline

outline is like border, but it doesn’t change an element’s size when you add it

outlines on :hover/: active help with accessibility: with keyboard navigation, you need an outline to see what’s focused
