Understanding Border Radius Syntax
The border-radius
property in CSS enables you to round the corners of an element's
border box. The basic syntax can specify one to four values:
border-radius: value;
For more complex shapes, you can use the following syntax:
border-radius: top-left top-right bottom-right bottom-left;
Each value can be a length (e.g., 10px
) or a percentage (e.g., 50%
).
Here’s a breakdown of the values:
- Single value: Applies the same radius to all four corners.
- Two values: The first value applies to the top-left and bottom-right corners, and the second value applies to the top-right and bottom-left corners.
- Three values: The first value applies to the top-left corner, the second value to the top-right and bottom-left corners, and the third value to the bottom-right corner.
- Four values: Apply individual values to each corner in the order of top-left, top-right, bottom-right, and bottom-left.
For even more control, the 8-value syntax allows you to specify horizontal and vertical radii separately:
border-radius: h-top-left v-top-left h-top-right v-top-right h-bottom-right v-bottom-right h-bottom-left v-bottom-left;
In this advanced mode, you can create complex, elliptical shapes by adjusting the horizontal and vertical radii independently for each corner.
Examples of Border Radius Usage
To demonstrate the versatility of the border-radius
property, here are a few
examples:
/* Basic rounded corners */
border-radius: 15px;
/* Elliptical corners */
border-radius: 50px 25px;
/* Different radii for each corner */
border-radius: 10px 20px 30px 40px;
/* Advanced 8-value syntax */
border-radius: 10px 20px 30px 40px / 50px 60px 70px 80px;
