The margin property defines the outermost portion of the box model, creating space around an element, outside of any defined borders. Margins are set using lengths, percentages, or the keyword auto and can have negative values. Here’s an example: margin is a shorthand property and accepts up to four values, shown here:
The CSS margin properties are used to create space around elements, outside of any defined borders. With CSS, you have full control over the margins. There are properties for setting the margin for each side of an element (top, right, bottom, and left). CSS has properties for specifying the margin for each side of an element:
Any of the individual margins can be declared using longhand, in which case you would define only one value per property: .box { margin-top: 20px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 10px; } Each of the margin properties can also accept a value of auto. A value of auto basically tells the browser to define the margin for you.
Even with the element inside another element, when adding margin, it is as if I have added the margin in the parent element and not in the child. It's called collapsing margins, and that doesn't happen on inline blocks. Margins of inline-block boxes do not collapse (not even with their in-flow children).
The margin-bottom CSS property sets the margin area on the bottom of an element. A positive value places it farther from its neighbors, while a negative value places it closer. See full list on developer.mozilla.org
