CSS border-right-style: Set or Change the Style of the Right Border

The CSS border-right-style property is used when we need to define the style of the right border of an element. For example:

HTML with CSS Code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <style>
      p {border: 6px dashed chocolate; padding: 10px; border-right-style: solid;}
   </style>
</head>
<body>

   <p>This is a para.</p>
   
</body>
</html>

Output

This is a para.

The paragraph (p) element is given the CSS border-right-style property using the code above.

The right border style of an element is defined by the border-right-style property. The right border of the paragraph will be a solid line in this instance because the border-right-style property is set to "solid."

The border-width, border-style, and border-color properties of the paragraph are also set using the "border" shorthand property. Given that the border property is currently set to 6px dashed chocolate, the paragraph will have a border that is 6 pixels wide and the color chocolate.

The "padding" property is also used to control how much space is added inside the paragraph's border. The padding property in this instance is set to 10px, which means that there will be 10 pixels between the text and the paragraph's border.

Allows for greater control over the style of borders when creating visually appealing web pages.
Provides border style options such as solid, dashed, dotted, double, groove, ridge, inset, outset, and so on.
By applying unique border styles to the right side of those sections, you can help to emphasize specific content or sections of a web page.

Disadvantages of the "border-right-style" property in CSS

The use of the border-right-style property may have an impact on how consistently a design looks on different screens and devices.
Border styles can create visual clutter and detract users from the primary content if they are used excessively or improperly.
The border-right-style property might not be supported by some older browsers, which could lead to compatibility issues and degrade user experience.
It can take longer for a page to load and perform slowly when complex border styles are used, especially on low-powered devices.
