maybe you not getting the current reference in this.
Did you tried like below-

document.getElementById('elem_id').style.border-width = '1px';
document.getElementById('elem_id').style.border-width = '1px';

of course, thats because your border doesn't have a color for you to see it, you sould set the bordercolor also. Or assign a previously defined class instead. it keeps things cleaner.
