CSS Margins

CSS Margins

Margins are used to create space around elements, outside of any defined borders. CSS has margin properties for each side: top, right, bottom, left.

Margin Values:

  • auto - Center the element horizontally
  • px / em / % - Fixed/relative margin
  • Shorthand: margin: top right bottom left
  • 2 values: margin: top-bottom left-right

Margin Collapse: Top and bottom margins of adjacent elements collapse into a single margin.
