Default value: | stretch
Inherited: | no
Animatable: | no. Read about animatable
Version: | CSS3
JavaScript syntax: | object.style.borderImageRepeat="round" Try it

## Browser Support

Property |  |  |  |  |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
border-image-repeat | 15.0 | 11.0 | 15.0 | 6.0 | 15.0

## CSS Syntax

border-image-repeat: stretch|repeat|round|initial|inherit;
