The border-top-width CSS property sets the width of the top border of a box.

Initial value medium

Inherited no

Computed value the absolute length or 0 if border-top-style is none or hidden
Animation type a length
Canonical order the unique non-ambiguous order defined by the formal grammar

Syntax

/* Any <length> value */
border-top-width: 10em;
border-top-width: 3vmax;
border-top-width: 6px;

/* A keyword */
border-top-width: thin;
border-top-width: medium;
border-top-width: thick;

border-top-width: inherit;

Values

<br-width>
Is either a non-negative explicit <length> value or a keyword denoting the thickness of the bottom border. The keyword must be one of the following values:
thin A thin border
medium A medium border
thick A thick border
The specification doesn't precisely define the thickness of each of the keywords, which is therefore implementation specific. Nevertheless, it requests that the thickness does follow the thin ≤ medium ≤ thick inequality and that the values are constant on a single document.
inherit
Represents the calculated value of the border-top-width of the parent's element.

Formal syntax

<br-width>

where
<br-width> = <length> | thin | medium | thick

Examples

element { 
    border-top-width: thin;
    border-top-style: solid;
    border-top-color: #000;
}
.element1{
	border-top: thick solid red;
}
.element2{
	border-top: medium solid orange;
}
.element3{
	border-top: thin solid green;
}
