02-02-18 Course- CSS-Simple
You can set margins for top, right, bottom, and left sides of an HTML element box by either using the four properties, margin-top, margin-right, margin-bottom, and margin-left, or by using the margin shorthand property. The margins for an HTML element box can be specified in units, such as pixels, inches, centimeters, points, or in the form of a percentage value.
Let’s do the following steps to set the margins of an HTML element box:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

</style>
</head>
