outline-width

Sets the width of the outline frame.

Syntax

{outline-width: sWidth }

Possible values

sWidth

String that specifies or receives one or more of the following values:

medium	Default. About 4px.
thin	Less than the default width.
thick	Greater than the default width.
width	A floating-point number, followed by an absolute units designator (cm, mm, in, pt, or pc) or a relative units designator (em, ex, or px).

This property has a default value of medium. It is not inherited.

Remarks

Displaying an outline does not cause reflow, no matter how wide the outline is. The outline frame is drawn over an element, and does not influence the position or size of the box, or of any other boxes.
