Is it possible to output ON THE BOARDER?

[typingcat]

<div style="position:relative; border:solid 10px;">
<div style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0;">Hello, World!</div>
</div>

The text is displayed INSIDE the boarder. But is it possible to make it
displayed ON the boarder?

Negative positioning? You could try "top: -0.5em;" which should move the
text up by half of its height. Of course, you should give the text a
background colour otherwise the line will go through it making it hard
to read.

<div style="position:relative; border:10px solid yellow;">
<div style="position:absolute; top: -1em;">
Hello, World!
</div>
...Need something here for the div to have size or style dims...
</div>

Gave border a color else default is black like your text and would not
be visible...

In the first place, "border" doesn't have an 'a'. Secondly, perhaps you
want to use a fieldset with legend. Try this:

<fieldset>
<legend>Bob</legend>
Other stuff
</fieldset>

In the first place, stop top-posting [fixed]

Second, do not use mark-up for presentational purposes especially when
equivalent presentation is easy to achieve with simple CSS:

I didn't use markup for presentation. The fieldset/legend combo is a
legitimate piece of code.

You chose the fieldset and legend elements because of the way they are
commonly presented on screen, not because they are semantically correct
in the context under discussion.

For groups of form controls and their labels, yes.
