Spacing
in [CSS]
|
From: shapper on 10 Jan 2008 21:09 Hello, I have a form with various labels, inputs and spans for comments. Each element is in a different line. I want to create some spacing between each element. For example, if I have: Name: [Name Input] Profession: [Profession Input] Profession Comment (Span) So I want to create a 2px spacing between each line. Should I use margin or padding? I know both work but what is the best solution? And are there other alternatives? Thanks, Miguel

Perhaps even much tinier on your monitor .. or on my monitor .. and will look almost "shoved against" what is above and below. Without even seeing your page, I'd suggest the bare minimum of 1em. input { margin: 1em; } -- -bts -Friends don't let friends drive Vista

I know the box model. But if I can do it in both ways should i use margin or padding? I suppose, since it is the spacing between 2 elements that I should use margin. Thanks, Miguel
