margin
This property sets a consistent margin on all four sides of the affected element.
Syntax
margin:
margin1
...
margin4
| inherit
where each
margin
value is either a
length
,
percentage
,
auto
, or
inherit
value. As a
shorthand form, it is possible to set the four margin values (
margin-top
,
margin-right
,
margin-bottom
, and
margin-left
) independently with this property:
1
margin-top
Border
Padding
2
4
Content
3
margin-bottom
A single value will be copied to all four margins. With two values, the first value will
specify the top and bottom margins, and the second value will specify the right and left
margins. If three values are specified, the first defines the top margin, the second defines the
left and right margins, and the third defines the bottom margin. Note that the unspecified
margin is inferred from the value defined for its opposite side. Lastly, all four values can
also be set in order of top, right, bottom, left.
