Meaning of outline-offset and outline-width for such a function is exactly what I use for outline:glow. "Radii" of outline:solid (outline-box bounds) is a sum of outline-offset and outline-width. To be short, I did not change meanings of outline properties. And yet: outline:glow and outline:dotted are used for an indication of visual(:hover) and input(:focus) states in UI of various OSes. -- Andrew Fedoniouk. http://terrainformatica.com
