I think you’ve got your understanding of the two properties off a little. Border affects the outside edge of the element, making the element different in size. Outline will not change the size or position of the element (takes up no space) and goes outside the border. From your description you want to use the border property.
Look at the simple example below in your browser:
<div style="height: 100px; width: 100px; background: black; color: white; outline: thick solid #00ff00">SOME TEXT HERE</div> <div style="height: 100px; width: 100px; background: black; color: white; border-le
