CSS Properties

Question

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

Answer 1

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:

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

ohh okay thankyou for your time!

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

Well Faisal is right if you take a look at CSS Box Model you'll note that margins are beyond reach of those simply top ,right, left,bottom things

Answer 6

No problem ;)
