Definition and Usage

The border-image-source property specifies the path to the image to be used as a border (instead of the normal border around an element).

Tip: If the value is "none", or if the image cannot be displayed, the border styles will be used.

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