Adjust the Margin of an Element

Adjust the Margin of an Element

Adjusting the Margin of an Element means to increase or decrease the amount of spacing between the Element's borders and surrounding Elements.

• Margins are adjusted with positive and negative integers by units of pixels(px).

• Margins can be created from all directions (top, bottom, left, right).

This is an example of how it is written:

margin: 20px;

You can easily change or adjust the Margin of an Element by changing the numerical value:

Before:

margin: 20px;

After:

margin: 50px;

You can also create a custom class with a margin that you will use repetitively.

  .style-margin {
    margin: 20px;
  }
