CSS - Using Images: The Image Border Property

Images play an important role in webpages and CSS can control image display properties. CSS properties like border, height, width, and -moz-opacity allow setting the border width, height, width, and transparency of images. Border sets the border width in pixels or percentage. Height and width can set the dimensions in pixels or percentage of the containing element. -moz-opacity sets transparency in Mozilla from 0 to 1, while IE uses filter:alpha for 0 to 100 transparency.

CSS - Using Images

Images play an important role in any webpage. Though it is not recommended to include a lot of
images, but it is still important to use good images wherever required.

CSS plays a good role to control image display. You can set the following image properties
using CSS.

 The border property is used to set the width of an image border.


 The height property is used to set the height of an image.
 The width property is used to set the width of an image.
 The -moz-opacity property is used to set the opacity of an image.

The Image Border Property

The border property of an image is used to set the width of an image border. This property can
have a value in length or in %.

A width of zero pixels means no border.

Here is the example −

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<img style="border:0px;" src="/css/images/logo.png" />
<br />
<img style="border:3px dashed red;" src="/css/images/logo.png" />
</body>
</html>

It will produce the following result −

The Image Height Property

The height property of an image is used to set the height of an image. This property can have a
value in length or in %. While giving value in %, it applies it in respect of the box in which an
image is available.

Here is an example −

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<img style="border:1px solid red; height:100px;"
src="/css/images/logo.png" />
<br />
<img style="border:1px solid red; height:50%;"
src="/css/images/logo.png" />
</body>
</html>

It will produce the following result −

The Image Width Property

The width property of an image is used to set the width of an image. This property can have a
value in length or in %. While giving value in %, it applies it in respect of the box in which an
image is available.

Here is an example −

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<img style="border:1px solid red; width:150px;"
src="/css/images/logo.png" />
<br />
<img style="border:1px solid red; width:100%;"
src="/css/images/logo.png" />
</body>
</html>

It will produce the following result −

The -moz-opacity Property

The -moz-opacity property of an image is used to set the opacity of an image. This property is
used to create a transparent image in Mozilla. IE uses filter:alpha(opacity=x) to create
transparent images.

In Mozilla (-moz-opacity:x) x can be a value from 0.0 - 1.0. A lower value makes the element
more transparent (The same things goes for the CSS3-valid syntax opacity:x).

In IE (filter:alpha(opacity=x)) x can be a value from 0 - 100. A lower value makes the element
more transparent.

Here is an example −

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<img style="border:1px solid red;-moz-
opacity:0.4;filter:alpha(opacity=40);" src="/css/images/logo.png" />
</body>
</html>
