Use utilities like border-solid and border-dotted to control an element's border style:
border-solid
border-dashed
border-dotted
border-double
<div class="border-2 border-solid ..."></div><div class="border-2 border-dashed ..."></div><div class="border-2 border-dotted ..."></div><div class="border-4 border-double ..."></div>
Use the border-none utility to remove an existing border from an element:
<button class="border-none ...">Save Changes</button>
This is most commonly used to remove a border style that was applied at a smaller breakpoint.
Use utilities like divide-dashed and divide-dotted to control the border style between child elements:
01
02
03
<div class="grid grid-cols-3 divide-x-3 divide-dashed divide-indigo-500"> <div>01</div> <div>02</div> <div>03</div></div>
Prefix a border-style utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:
<div class="border-solid md:border-dotted ..."> <!-- ... --></div>
Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
