Usage of the 'border-bottom' Property

Use 'border-bottom' to apply specific styling to the bottom border of an element.

The shorthand property simplifies the code and enhances readability by consolidating border width, style, and color settings.

Property Values of the 'border-bottom' Property

• Width: Specifies the thickness of the border. Acceptable values include length units (e.g., px, em) and predefined thickness keywords (thin, medium, thick).
• Style: This determines the border's line style (none, solid, dotted, dashed, double, groove, ridge, inset, outset).
• Color: This sets the border's color. It can be defined using named colors, HEX codes, RGB(a), and HSL(a) values.
• Initial: Resets the 'border-bottom' to its default value, removing any custom styling applied to the bottom border.
