- no
This is a shorthand property for setting the width, style and color of an element's top border.
H1 { border-bottom: thick solid red }
The above rule will set the width, style and color of the border below the H1 element. Omitted values will be set to their initial values:
H1 { border-bottom: thick solid }
Since the color value is omitted in the example above, the border color will be the same as the 'color' value of the element itself.
Note that while the 'border-style' property accepts up to four values, this property only accepts one style value.
