Svetlana,

The border itself is actually based on whatever element it's being assigned to... for example, if you have a div, the border will be the same height as your div.

Hi Svetlana Kontsevitch,

To set a border's height, you can use the border-width CSS property. I discuss adjusting border thickness at the 7:05 mark of this video.

Hope this helps! :)
