CSS Syntax

Note: The four values of border-image-width specify offsets that are used to divide the border image area into nine parts. They represent the inward distances from the the top, right, bottom, and left sides of the area. If the fourth value is omitted, it is the same as the second. If the third one is also omitted, it is the same as the first. If the second one is also omitted, it is the same as the first. Negative values are not allowed for any border-image-width values.
