The document provides an overview of the CSS box model, which treats HTML elements as boxes and consists of the content, padding, border, and margin. It defines each part of the box model - the content area contains text and images, padding is the transparent space around content, border lines go around the padding, and margin is the transparent space outside the border. The document then provides more details on how to specify different border properties like width, color, and style as well as padding and margin values using pixels, percentages, or keywords like "top", "bottom", "left", and "right".

Border
Border-width sets the width of the border. The with is set in

Border styles can be any of these:

1. dotted - It defines a dotted border.


2. dashed - It defines a dashed border.
3. solid - It defines a solid border.
4. double - It defines two borders. The width of these
borders is the same as the border width value
5. groove - It defines a 3D grooved border. The effect
depends on the border-color value.
6. ridge - It defines a 3D ridged border. The effect depends
on the border-color value.
7. inset - It defines a 3D inset border. The effect depends on
the border-color value.

on the border-color value.

Margin - Bottom: 100px

aligned.

padding-bottom, and padding left.
