CSS Syntax

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

Note: This property specifies how the images for the sides and the middle part of the border image are scaled and tiled. So, you can specify two values here. If the second value is omitted, it is assumed to be the same as the first.
