CSS/3
Margins are the extra area outside a box element. Padding is sort of like margin - the only difference is, padding is inside the element. It's the amount of space between the edge of the element and its actual contents.
Here's a demonstration (remember: just like margins, padding applies on all sides of the element by default):
Padding is really useful for making your site seem less crowded, just like margins.
Just like with margins, a shorthand property exists for applying the same padding size to all sides of an element:
Once again, just like with margins, CodeDragon only supports the specific-side properties of padding:
You literally just saw borders in action in the example above. They're quite simple in reality. A border goes between the padding and the margin of a box element (protruding outwards by default).
Typically, a border is a coloured line put around an element. It helps to make it look different from other elements, and using another CSS property, it can also be made to be curved. A border can also be a gradient or even an image, although CodeDragon doesn't support this.
Here's the simplest way (and also the CodeDragon way) to define a border in CSS:
As you can tell, there's 3 pieces of information being set:
The width of the border.
The style of the border (solid/dashed/dotted/etc)
The colour of the border
It's quite simple.
