Lesson 6 of 15
Margins & Padding
Margins and Padding
Both use the same shorthand syntax:
/* All four sides */
margin: 16px;
/* Top/bottom, Left/right */
margin: 16px 24px;
/* Top, Right, Bottom, Left (clockwise) */
margin: 8px 16px 24px 32px;
/* Individual sides */
margin-top: 8px;
margin-right: 16px;
margin-bottom: 8px;
margin-left: 16px;
Center horizontally with auto:
.container {
width: 600px;
margin: 0 auto; /* top/bottom: 0, left/right: auto */
}
Negative margins pull elements closer:
.overlap { margin-top: -20px; }
Padding uses the same syntax but adds space inside the border.
