title: Rounded dotted border spacing in css
body: <p>I've been researching dotted borders that support webkit <strong>and</strong> IE 9+.</p>
  
  <p>I currently have a 'simple' dotted border effect like so: </p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="false" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-css lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>.bord {
    height: 200px;
    width: 300px;
    background: gray;
    border-radius: 20px;
    position: relative;
  }
  .bord:before {
    content: "";
    position: absolute;
    height: calc(90% - 10px);
    width: calc(90% - 10px);
    left: 5%;
    top: 5%;
    border: 5px dotted black;
  }</code></pre>
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;div class="wrapper"&gt;
    &lt;div class="bord"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
  
  <p>which renders (in chrome):</p>

  <p>But i would like:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/hFL0s.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>Would this be possible using pure css? </p>
  
  <p>(since I can't use border-image as <em>Internet Explorer 10 and earlier versions do not support the <a href="http://caniuse.com/#feat=border-image" rel="nofollow noreferrer">border-image property</a>.</em>)</p>
  
  <p>I've looked at the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/border-style" rel="nofollow noreferrer">docs</a> but couldn't see any reference, and I've seen stuff like <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3718215/css3-rounded-and-dotted-borders">this</a>, but obviously doesn't help me here.</p>

  <p>Is there a CSS property I'm missing here? Or an alternative possibility? (IMO, though, these 'dots' should be round anyway) but 'rounded dots' would also be beneficial.</p>
