The CSS border-right-style property is used to set the style of an element's right border. It is defined as a single keyword that is chosen from those available for the border-style property. The border-style property is used to set the style for all four sides of an element, but border-right-style sets a style only for the right border.
The default width of the right border is medium. It can be changed by using either the border-right-width or border-width properties.
Not all browsers render the styles in the same way. Chrome currently renders the dots as rectangular ones, not circular ones.

h2 {
