Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Declaration of HTML5 document type -->
<html>
<head>
<title>How to specify an image as the border around an element</title><!-- Title of the HTML document -->
<style type="text/css">/* CSS style start*/
div {
border: 15px solid transparent; /* Sets a transparent solid border with 15px width for <div> elements */
padding: 15px; /* Sets 15px padding for <div> elements */
border-image: url(https://www.w3resource.com/w3r_images/border.png) 30 stretch; /* Specifies the border image and its parameters */
border-image-repeat: repeat; /* Specifies that the border image should be repeated to cover the entire border */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>Here, the middle sections of the image are repeated to create the border.</div><!-- <div> element demonstrating the repeated middle sections of the border image -->
</body>
</html>

Explanation:

  • This HTML document demonstrates how to specify an image as the border around an element.
  • The border property sets a transparent solid border with a width of 15 pixels for <div> elements.
  • The padding property sets 15 pixels of padding for <div> elements.
  • border-image: url(https://www.w3resource.com/w3r_images/border.png) 30 stretch; specifies the border image and its parameters. It sets the source of the border image to "https://www.w3resource.com/w3r_images/border.png" and stretches the middle sections of the image to create the border. The number 30 indicates the width of the image slices.
  • border-image-repeat: repeat; specifies that the border image should be repeated to cover the entire border.
