Name

bottomMargin — NN n/a IE 4 DOM n/a

Synopsis

Read/Write

The amount of blank space between the very end of content and the bottom of a scrollable page. The setting has no visual effect if the length of the content or size of the window does not cause the window to scroll. The default value is for the end of content to be flush with the end of the document, but in the Macintosh version of Internet Explorer 4, there is about a 10-pixel margin visible even when the property is set to zero. Larger sizes are reflected properly. This property offers somewhat of a shortcut or alternate to setting the marginBottom style sheet property for the BODY element object.

Example

document.body.bottomMargin = 20

Value

An integer value (zero or greater) of the number of pixels of clear space at the bottom of the document.

Default

0
