Explanation:

  • This HTML document demonstrates how to create a rounded border effect for an element using CSS.
  • The div element is styled with a solid border that has a thickness of 3 pixels and a color of #FF0000 (red).
  • Padding is set to 10 pixels at the top and bottom and 40 pixels on the left and right sides of the div.
  • The background color of the div is set to #00CCCC (light blue).
  • The width of the div is set to 150 pixels.
  • The border-radius property is used to create rounded corners for the div. A value of 25 pixels is specified, resulting in a noticeable curvature at each corner.
  • As a result, the div appears with rounded corners and a solid red border, providing a visually appealing design.
