The outline-width property can be defined to draw a line of specific thickness around the borders of the element, but the outline is not a part of an element’s dimensions, unlike border property.
Syntax
The syntax of CSS outline-width property is as follows −
Selector {
outline-width: /*value*/
}NOTE − The outline-style property needs to be defined before declaring outline-width.
