CSS Properties

Is there a difference between top,left,rigth,bottom properties and margin-top,margin-left etc.? Like I tried using them both and they had the same effect. I want to know if one is meant for a specific purpose or something

The top, right, bottom, and left properties are generally used to move the element within whatever has been specified by the position property. The margin-left, margin-right, etc. properties are used to add a certain amount of space relative to the element, extending its box outwards. Hope this helped! d:

so you mean there can be only an effect for top, left, right, bottom if the position property of the element is specified?

Jax Wang Yep. They are quite highly dependant on it, so excluding it would render them useless
