CSS border-top-right-radius Property

The CSS border-top-right-radius defines the round shape of the top right corner of the element.

This property is one of the CSS3 properties.

There are three kinds of rounding. It can be a circle or an ellipse, or the value is 0, the corner is square. If you use background image or color, it will be clipped at the border. The process of clipping is defined by the value of background-clip property.

The property has two values: length and percentage. The border-top-right-radius property specifies the horizontal and vertical radii that define the rounded upper-right corner for a border box. When only one value is given, that value specifies both horizontal and vertical radius of the ellipse. If there are two values, the first one sets the horizontal radius and the second one sets the vertical radius. Percentages for the horizontal radii refer to the width of the box, percentages for the vertical radius refer to the height of the box. Negative values are not allowed.
