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
