CSS information

Initial Value	0

Standards information

CSS 2.1, Section 5.5.4

Remarks

You can specify possible length values relative to the height of the element's font (em) or the height of the letter "x" (ex).

In Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, the specified margin value is added to the default value of the object. In Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and later, the margin value is absolute. The margin properties do not work with the td and tr objects in Internet Explorer 4.0, but they do work in Internet Explorer 3.0. To set margins in the cell for Internet Explorer 4.0 and later, apply the margin to an object, such as div or p, within the td.

This property applies to inline elements, starting with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5. With earlier versions of Windows Internet Explorer, inline elements must have an absolute IHTMLStyle::position or layout to use this property. Element layout is set by providing a value for the IHTMLStyle::height property or the IHTMLStyle::width property.

Negative margins are supported, except for top and bottom margins on inline objects.

Examples

The following example shows three div elements with specified IHTMLStyle::height, IHTMLStyle::width, and IHTMLStyle::backgroundColor values. The second div element also specifies a IHTMLStyle::marginLeft setting of 10px.

<div id="blue"></div>
<div id="yellow"></div>
<div id="green"></div>

#blue {
   background-color: #00A4EF;
   height: 50px;
   width: 50px;
}
#yellow {
   background-color: #FFB900;
   height: 50px;
   width: 50px;
   margin-left: 10px;
}
#green {
   background-color: #7FBA00;
   height: 50px;
   width: 50px;
}

The following image shows the result. The second div element has 10 pixels of padding on the left margin.

This example uses inline scripting to set the left margin of the image to 1 centimeter when an HTMLFrameSiteEvents::onclick event occurs.
