Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Declaration of HTML5 document type -->
<html>
<head>
<title>How to set initial property to its default value</title><!-- Title of the HTML document -->
<style type="text/css">
/* CSS styling */
h1  {
border-style: solid; /* Sets the border style for h1 elements to solid */
border-left-width: initial; /* Sets the width of the left border for h1 elements to its default value */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>w3resource Tutorial</p><!-- Paragraph content -->
<h1>border left width initial</h1><!-- h1 element with the left border width set to its default value -->
</body>
</html>

Explanation:

This HTML document demonstrates how to set the left border width of an h1 element to its default value using the initial keyword.
The h1 elements have a common style with a solid border, and the width of the left border is set to its default value.
Using border-left-width: initial; ensures that the left border width of the h1 element is reset to its browser-defined default value.
As a result, the rendered h1 element will have its left border width set to the default value defined by the browser.
