Remarks

This is a composite property that specifies up to four padding values, in the following order: top, right, bottom, left. If one width value is specified, it is used for all four sides. If two width values are specified, the first is used for the top and bottom borders, and the second is used for left and right borders. If three width values are specified, they are used for top, right/left, and bottom borders, respectively. Negative values are not allowed.

The below illustration shows the content, padding, border, and margin areas of a basic box. The red labels illustrate the edges of each of these areas.

As of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5, this property applies to inline elements. 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.

Examples

In the following example, a div element contains text and specifies IHTMLStyle::width, IHTMLStyle::border, and IHTMLStyle::padding values.

<div id="padding">
   Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat.
</div>

In the CSS below, the first IHTMLStyle::padding value sets IHTMLStyle::paddingTop to 5 pixels, the second value sets IHTMLStyle::paddingRight to 10 pixels, the third value sets IHTMLStyle::paddingBottom to 15 pixels, and the fourth value sets IHTMLStyle::paddingLeft to 20 pixels.

#padding {
   width: 200px;
   border: .5em solid #BBBBBB;
   padding: 5px 10px 15px 20px;
}

The following image shows the result.
