Name
margin — NN n/a IE 4 DOM n/a
Synopsis
Read/Write
A shortcut property that can set the margin widths of up to four edges of an element with one statement. A margin is space that extends beyond the border of an element to provide extra empty space between adjacent or nested elements, especially those that have border attributes set. You may supply one to four space-delimited margin values. The number of space-delimited values determines which sides receive the assigned margins.
Example
document.all.logoWrapper.style.margin = "5px 8px"
Value
This property accepts one, two, three, or four space-delimited values
inside one string, depending on how many and which margins you want
to set. See the margin attribute listing in Chapter 10 for complete details on how the number of
values affects this property. Values for the margins can be lengths,
percentages of the next outermost element size, or the
auto constant.
