You're looking at a fairly old (and thus really outdated) text there. Here is the latest version: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#the-border-image (in general, when reading specs it is a good idea to scroll to the top of the document and check that you see the latest version – follow the link 'latest…') Now note that the border-image part of the spec is not well implemented in the release version of various browsers (and require vendor prefixes mostly). I have a test case here, using the image used in the spec: http://dev.l-c-n.com/CSS3_border-background/border-image1v2.html To fully appreciate it you'll need either * a very recent Gecko (Firefox - v12) nightly build - still requires a vendor prefix [1] * recent WebKit nightly builds - unprefixed [2] * Chrome dev channel (17.0.963.12) - anyone can report how this works in Chrome 16 ?
