border-image-outset

The border-image-outset property describes by what amount the border image area extends beyond the border box.

Portions of the border image that are rendered outside the border box as a result of this property do not cause scrolling to be triggered. These areas also don't capture or cause mouse events to occur on behalf of the bordered element.

Initial value 0s
Applies to all elements, except internal table elements when border-collapse is collapse. It also applies to ::first-letter.
Inherited no
Media visual
Computed value as specified, but with relative lengths converted into absolute lengths
Animation type discrete
Canonical order the unique non-ambiguous order defined by the formal grammar
