CSS outline-color Property


CSS Reference Complete CSS Reference

Definition

An outline is a line that is drawn around elements, outside the border edge, to make the element "stand out". The outline-color property sets the color of the outlines.

Note: Always declare the outline-style property before the outline-color property. An element must have an outline before you change the color of it.

Note: Outlines do not take up space, and they do not have to be rectangular.

Inherited: No


JavaScript Syntax

CSS properties can also be dynamically changed with a JavaScript.

Scripting Syntax: object.style.outlineColor="#00FF00"

WAPT is able to generate up to 3000 simultaneously acting virtual users using standard hardware configuration. Virtual users in each profile are fully customizable. Basic and NTLM authentication methods are supported. Graphs and reports are shown in real-time at different levels of detail, thus helping to manage the testing process.
