Frequently asked questions

How is outline different from border?

Outline is drawn outside the border and does not affect layout or take up space, unlike border.

It pushes the outline away from the element edge by the given distance, creating a gap.

Why use outline for focus states?

Outlines clearly indicate keyboard focus for accessibility without shifting surrounding content.
