Border Height on CSS

Question

I have a table TD and on the right of it I want to add a 1 pixel border  so I ve done this   table td       border-right 1px solid  000      It works fine but the problem is that the border s height takes the total TD s height   Is there a way to set the height of the border

For td elements line-height will successfully allow you to resize the border-height as SPrince mentioned.

For other elements such as list items, you can control the border height with line-height and the height of the actual element with margin-top and margin-bottom.

Here is a working example of both: http://jsfiddle.net/byronj/gLcqu6mg/

An example with list items:

li { 
    list-style: none; 
    padding: 0 10px; 
    display: inline-block;
    border-right: 1px solid #000; 
    line-height: 5px; 
    margin: 20px 0; 
}

<ul>
    <li>cats</li>
    <li>dogs</li>
    <li>birds</li>
    <li>swine!</li>
</ul>

table    border-spacing  10px 0px      rightborder   border-right  1px solid  fff      Then with your code you can    lt td class  rightborder  gt whatever lt  td gt    Hope that helps

I have another possibility  This is of course a  newer  technique  but for my projects works sufficient   It only works if you need one or two borders  I ve never done it with 4 borders    and to be honest  I don t know the answer for that yet    your-item     position  relative      your-item after     content        height  100     You can change this if you want smaller bigger borders   width  1px     position  absolute    right  0    top  0     If you want to set a smaller height and center it  change this value    background-color   000000     The color of your border     I hope this helps you too  as for me  this is an easy workaround

No  there isn t  The border will always be as tall as the element   You can achieve the same effect by wrapping the contents of the cell in a  lt span gt   and applying height border styles to that  Or by drawing a short vertical line in an 1 pixel wide PNG which is the correct height  and applying it as a background to the cell   background url line png  bottom right no-repeat

Currently  no  not without resorting to trickery  borders on elements are supposed to run the entire length of whatever side of the element box they apply to

main-box        border  solid 10px     sub-box      border-right  1px solid        draws a line on right side of the box  later add a margin-top and margin-bottom  i e     sub-box      border-right  1px solid      margin-top  10px       margin-bottom  10px      This might help in drawing a line on the right-side of the box with a gap on top and bottom

Just like everyone else said  you can t control border height   But there are workarounds  here s what I do   table     position  relative     table  before        after works too      content        position  absolute    right  0     Change direction for a different side     z-index  100     width  3px     Thickness      height  10px    background   555     Color        You can set height to inherit for the height of the table or calc inherit - 2px  for a 2px smaller border  Remember  inherit has no effect when the table height isn t set   Use height  50  for half a border   Demo

Yes  you can set the line height after defining the border like this   border-right  1px solid  line-height  10px

Building on top of  ReBa s answer above  this custom-border class is what worked for me   Mods    working with border instead of backaground-color since background-color is not consistent  Setting height  amp  top of the properties of  after in such a way that the total comes up to 100  where bottom s value is implicit     x000D   x000D  ul   x000D    list-style-type  none  x000D    display  flex  x000D    flex-direction  row  x000D    x000D   x000D  li   x000D    padding  10px  x000D    x000D   x000D   custom-border   x000D    position  relative  x000D    x000D   x000D   custom-border after   x000D    content       x000D    position  absolute  x000D    border-left  1px  6c757d solid  x000D    top  35   x000D    right  0  x000D    height  30   x000D    margin-top  auto  x000D    margin-bottom  auto  x000D    x000D   lt ul gt  x000D     lt li class  custom-border  gt  x000D      Hello x000D     lt  li gt  x000D     lt li class  custom-border  gt  x000D      World x000D     lt  li gt  x000D     lt li class  custom-border  gt  x000D      Foo x000D     lt  li gt  x000D     lt li class  custom-border  gt Bar lt  li gt  x000D     lt li class  custom-border  gt Baz lt  li gt  x000D   lt  ul gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    Good Luck
