CSS: Spacing and Areas : Page 15

It is illegal to use negative values for border-left-width. Different Web browsers interpret thin, medium, and thick differently, but the width of thin is always smaller than medium, which is always smaller than thick.

The border-left-width property should be used in conjunction with the border-style property to ensure that CSS-enabled browsers process it correctly.

Example:

	P {border-left-width: 50pt}

If you are using a CSS-enabled browser, this paragraph has a 50-point-wide left border.
