Last update on August 19 2022 21:51:56 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>How to specify an image as the border around an element</title>
<style type="text/css">
#borderimg1 {
border: 15px solid transparent;
padding: 10px;
-webkit-border-image: url("https://www.w3resource.com/w3r_images/border.png") 30 round;
-o-border-image:url("https://www.w3resource.com/w3r_images/border1.png") 60 round;
border-image: url("https://www.w3resource.com/w3r_images/border.png")  60 round;
 }
#borderimg2 { 
border: 15px solid transparent;
 padding: 10px;
 -webkit-border-image: url("https://www.w3resource.com/w3r_images/border.png")  30 stretch;
}
</style >
</head>
<body>
<p>The border-image property specifies an image to be used as the border around an element:</p>
<p id="borderimg1">Here, the middle sections of the image are repeated to create the border.</p>
<p id="borderimg2">Here, the middle sections of the image are stretched to create the border.</p>
</body>
</html>

HTML-CSS: Tips of the Day

CSS strikethrough different color from text?

Yes, by adding an extra wrapping element. Assign the desired line-through color to an outer element, then the desired text color to the inner element. For example:

<span style='color:red;text-decoration:line-through'>
  <span style='color:black'>black with red strikethrough</span>
</span>

...or...

<strike style='color:red'>
  <span style='color:black'>black with red strikethrough<span>
</strike>

(Note, however, that <strike> is considered deprecated in HTML4 and obsolete in HTML5. The recommended approach is to use <del> if a true meaning of deletion is intended, or otherwise to use an <s> element or style with text-decoration CSS as in the first example here.)
