CSS Outline Offset
The outline-offset property adds space
between an outline and the edge/border of an element. The space between an
element and its outline is transparent.
The following example specifies an outline 15px outside the border edge:
This paragraph has an outline 15px outside the border edge.
Example
p {
margin: 30px;
border: 1px solid black;
outline:
1px solid red;
outline-offset: 15px;
