The border-inline-end CSS shorthand property sets the individual logical inline-end border property values in a single place in the style sheet.

Try it

border-inline-end: solid;
writing-mode: horizontal-tb;

border-inline-end: dashed red;
writing-mode: vertical-rl;

border-inline-end: 1rem solid;
writing-mode: horizontal-tb;
direction: rtl;

<section class="default-example" id="default-example">
  <div class="transition-all" id="example-element">
    This is a box with a border around it.
  </div>
</section>

#example-element {
  background-color: #eeeeee;
  color: darkmagenta;
  padding: 0.75em;
  width: 80%;
  height: 100px;
  unicode-bidi: bidi-override;
}

Constituent properties

This property is a shorthand for the following CSS properties:

Syntax

css

border-inline-end: 1px;
border-inline-end: 2px dashed;
border-inline-end: medium dashed blue;

/* Global values */
border-inline-end: inherit;
border-inline-end: initial;
border-inline-end: revert;
border-inline-end: revert-layer;
border-inline-end: unset;

The physical border to which border-inline-end maps depends on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation. It corresponds to the border-top, border-right, border-bottom, or border-left property depending on the values defined for writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation.

Related properties are border-block-start, border-block-end, and border-inline-start, which define the other borders of the element.

The border-inline-end is specified with one or more of the following, in any order:

<line-width>: The width of the border. See border-width.
<line-style>: The line style of the border. See border-style.
