border-inline-end-width CSS property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.

The border-inline-end-width CSS property defines the width of the logical inline-end border of an element, which maps to a physical border width depending on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation. It corresponds to the border-top-width, border-right-width, border-bottom-width, or border-left-width property depending on the values defined for writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation.

Try it

border-inline-end-width: thick;
writing-mode: horizontal-tb;

border-inline-end-width: thick;
writing-mode: vertical-rl;

border-inline-end-width: 4px;
writing-mode: horizontal-tb;
direction: rtl;

<section class="default-example" id="default-example">
  <div class="transition-all" id="example-element">
    This is a box with a border around it.
  </div>
</section>

  background-color: palegreen;
  color: black;
  border: 0 solid crimson;
  padding: 0.75em;
  width: 80%;
  height: 100px;
