CSS | outline-width Property
The outline is the line that is created around the specified element outside the border of the element to make the particular distinct and easier to distinguish. The outline-width Property is used to specify the width of this outline for a specific element. The outline-style property must be declared or used before the outline-width property is used on the desired element. Logically an element must have an outline for which one defines or styles the width. The outline of an element is displayed around the margin of the element and is not the same as the border property. As the outline is not a part of the element’s dimensions, therefore the element’s width and height properties do not contain the width of the outline.
