'margin-left' and 'left' don't have the same purpose... "left" property only works will 'positionned' elements, through the definition of the display property; adding "display:relative;" or "display:absolute;' to your element styles will let the 'left' property correctly work (but not always as expected, as behaviour of positionned elements is quite not obvious and is relative (even if using 'absolutte' value ^^) to different things dependinfg of context ^^ (commonly, 'relative' is relative to element "normal' position, while 'absolute" is relative to first positionned parent, if not to the <body> root visual element ;)
