Possible Values

String that specifies or receives one or more of the following space-delimited values:

style	Any of the range of style values available to the borderLeftStyle property.
color	Any of the range of color values available to the borderLeftColor property.

The property is read/write. The property has a default value of medium none . The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) attribute is not inherited.

Remarks

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

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

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

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

As of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5, this property applies to inline elements. With earlier versions of Internet Explorer, inline elements must have an absolute position or layout to use this property. Element layout is set by providing a value for the height property or the width property.

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

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

This example uses inline scripting to change the properties of the left border.
