Also see the full, alphabetical list of CSS properties


The CSS margin property is shorthand for specifying margin width on all sides of an element. It is classed as "shorthand" because it sets the margin-top, margin-right, margin-bottom and margin-left properties all in one place.

Syntax: margin: <value1> <value2> ...;
Possible Values:
  • <margin-width> (specify one for each side, or 1 for all)
  • inherit
Initial Value: not defined
Applies to: All elements
Inherited: No
Media: Visual
Example:
margin:10px;
  • All four sides have a margin of 10 pixels.
margin:10px 20px;
  • Top and bottom have a margin of 10 pixels.
  • Right and left have a margin of 20 pixels.
margin:10px 20px 30px;
  • Top is 10px
  • Left and right are 20px
  • Bottom is 30px
margin:10px 20px 30px 40px;
  • Top is 10px
  • Right is 20px
  • Bottom is 30px
  • Left is 40px
