“Let’s dive in to CSS outline property, super useful for styling and debugging. Here we’ve added a 3px black outline. It applies to both the button and the circle quick and clean.

Next, with our outline offset we can create a double border effect. Push it out for space or pull it in for a unique look.

Now for debugging. Images without alt or src attributes, style them with a red outline to spot issues instantly. From styling to debugging, CSS outline is a simple let powerful tool.”
