HTML: Sub-pixel border

Question

Is it possible to have a border that is thinner than 1px and works in IE6+ and is not an image and renders properly visually?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Edit: I have overseen then IE6 restriction, but I leave the answer here for others ...

Its possible with transform:scale(0.5) and put a border element with border:1px; inside. So you get a half pixel border, that (although tricked and browser dependend) is displayed on screen. But I use that trick for printing.

sure, you have to adapt the content of the element, or play with position

.outer {
  border:1px solid green;
}

.halfpix {
  -ms-transform-origin: 0 0;
  -webkit-transform-origin: 0 0;
  transform-origin: 0 0;
  -ms-transform:scale(0.5);
  -webkit-transform:scale(0.5);
  transform:scale(0.5);
  width:200px;
  height:100px;
  border:1px solid black;
  }
