CSS border-image-repeat Property

Example

Specify how to repeat the border image:

  border-image-source: url(border.png);
  border-image-repeat: repeat;
}

Definition and Usage

The border-image-repeat property specifies whether the border image should be repeated, rounded, spaced or stretched.

Tip: Also look at the border-image property (a shorthand property for setting all the border-image-* properties). 

Default value:	stretch
Inherited:	no
Animatable:	no.
Version:	CSS3
JavaScript syntax:	object.style.borderImageRepeat="round"

• Inherited : "Inherited = no" means that it cannot takes (inherit) it's value from it's parent element.
• object - object in javascript means the element on which border-image-repeat is applied.
• Animatable - "Animatable = no" means that it cannot be animated with CSS @keyframes.

Browser Support

The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the property.

Property
border-image-repeat	15.0	11.0	15.0	6.0	15.0

CSS Syntax

border-image-repeat: stretch|repeat|round|space|initial|inherit;

Note: This property specifies how the images for the sides and the middle part of the border image are scaled and tiled. So, you can specify two values here. If the second value is omitted, it is assumed to be the same as the first.
