CSS CSS Basics (2014) The Box Model Borders

Did the course instructor missed, creation of fluid border? Is that same usage of rem or em as we did before?

Is fluidity regarding a border is important at all!

I'm wondering the same thing, I don't know how Guil made that fluid border. I think it might be a transparent gradient in the background, but I'm not sure.

This question intrigued me so I searched abit for an answer. I believe what you might be looking for is the 'box-sizing: border-box;' css property which then uses the width property as the actual width and includes the padding and border within thereby letting percentage values not be ruined by a px border.

I'm not talking about box-sizing, I am talking about how the background lake tahoe image for the header has a super smooth transition on the edges.
