The DOM Style columnRuleColor property specifies the color of the rule between columns.
Syntax :
- For set the columnRuleColor property:
object.style.columnRuleColor = "color|initial|inherit"
- For return the columnRuleColor property:
object.style.columnRuleColor
- color: Used to specify the color of the rule.
- initial: Used to set the default value.
- inherit: Used to inherit property from parent element.
-
Color: This specifies the color of the rule.

After Click:

- initial: This set the color of the rule to the "initial". By default it is black.

After Click:

- inherit: This inherits this property from its parent element. This mean that this will make the same color as of the color of the parent element.
