border-image-repeat

Summary

The border-image-repeat CSS property defines how the middle part of a border image is handled so that it can match the size of the border. It has a one-value syntax which describes the behavior of all the sides, and a two-value syntax that sets a different value for the horizontal and vertical behavior.

Syntax

Formal syntax: [ stretch | repeat | round ]{1,2}  

border-image-repeat: type                      /* One-value syntax */       E.g. border-image-value: stretch;
border-image-repeat: horizontal vertical       /* Two-value syntax */       E.g. border-image-width: round space;

border-image-repeat: inherit

Values

Specifications

Browser compatibility

A space value was present in the early Candidate Recommendation versions. As no browsers implemented it, the value was removed. It may, however reappear in future drafts.
