Hello dear friends! Today we're going to talk about one of the fascinating CSS features that is increasingly being used: the border-inline-color
feature. This feature allows you to set the color of the inline borders of an element. For those who might not be familiar with this feature, I should mention that border-inline-color
serves to customize the border colors on the right and left sides when your layout is given in languages that flow from right to left or from left to right, which is very useful.
Until now, to change the colors of horizontal borders, we needed to use border-left-color
and border-right-color
separately, which sometimes made the job a bit more complicated. However, now with border-inline-color
, you can easily manage both sides simultaneously. Isn't it amazing?
Imagine you have a colored box on your site that requires the border colors to change based on a part of the page itself to match the overall color scheme. Here, using border-inline-color
can easily accomplish this task in a visually pleasing manner.
Let's start with a simple example. Suppose we have a div
element that we want to define a specific color for. For this purpose, consider the code below:
<style>
.my-div {
border: 2px solid;
border-inline-color: red;
}
</style>
<div class="my-div">
The inner content is a sample text.
</div>
In this code, we first defined a class named my-div
. Additionally, we set the border
to 2px solid
to specify the thickness and style of the border. Finally, using border-inline-color
we set the border color on the right and left sides to red, so you can see how it works.
It can be easily seen how this feature can enhance visual aesthetics and perhaps help you save time in managing CSS elements at a higher level.
Code Explanation:
.my-div
:Defines a class named
my-div
for the div
element.border: 2px solid;
:Specifies the thickness and style of the border for the
div
.border-inline-color: red;
:Sets the color of the borders on the right and left sides to red.
<div class="my-div">
:Instantiates the class
my-div
on the div
element.
