CSS Margin
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).
Individual Sides
CSS has properties for specifying the margin for each side of an element:
margin-top
margin-right
margin-bottom
margin-left
All the margin properties can have the following values:
- auto - the browser calculates the margin
- length - specifies a margin in px, pt, cm, etc.
- % - specifies a margin in % of the width of the containing element
- inherit - specifies that the margin should be inherited from the parent element
Example
Shorthand Property
To shorten the code, it is possible to specify all the margin properties in one property.
The margin
property is a shorthand property for the following individual margin properties:
margin-top
margin-right
margin-bottom
margin-left
- If the
margin
property has four values: - margin: 25px 50px 75px 100px;
- top margin is 25px
- right margin is 50px
- bottom margin is 75px
- left margin is 100px
Example
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><style>div {border: 1px solid black;margin: 25px 50px 75px 100px;background-color: lightblue;}</style></head><body><h2>The margin shorthand property - 4 values</h2><div>This div element has a top margin of 25px, a right margin of 50px, a bottom margin of 75px, and a left margin of 100px.</div><hr></body></html>
If the margin
property has three values:
- margin: 25px 50px 75px;
- top margin is 25px
- right and left margins are 50px
- bottom margin is 75px
Example
If the margin
property has two values:
- margin: 25px 50px;
- top and bottom margins are 25px
- right and left margins are 50px
Example
The auto Value
You can set the margin property to auto
to horizontally center the element within its container.
The element will then take up the specified width, and the remaining space will be split equally between the left and right margins.
