The border-right-width property is used to define the width of an element’s right border. The right border width, as well as all the other border sides, can also be defined with the border or border-width shorthand properties.
For setting the border-right-width you should first define the border-style property, because you need borders before setting its width. The border-right-style or border-style can be used to specify the border’s style.
