I am starting to work with css and have basic issue.
I have a div element:
If you need some padding inside the div, you should choose padding:
padding:top right bottom left;
example:
padding:5px; /* 5px padding at all sides)*/
padding:5px 3px; /* top & bottom 5px padding but right left 3px padding) */
padding:5px 3px 4px; /* top 5px, bottom 4px padding but left right 3px) */
padding:1px 2px 3px 4px; /* top 1px, right 2px bottom 3px & left 4px) */
Similarly to control the space outside the div, you can use margin.
Margin will use exact same formula.
