Padding:

Padding takes place around the content. To apply padding we have different properties.

  • padding-top:10px;
  • padding-bottom:10px;
  • padding-right:10px;
  • padding-left:10px;

And we also have a shortcut to apply padding.

  • padding:10px 10px 10px 10px; //top right bottom left.
  • padding:20px 40px; //top-bottom left-right.

Border:

Borer resides in a box model after padding. We can also control the width,height and color of the border. border:4px solid black;

Margine:

Margine take place in the CSS Box Model after border. We have margin property to apply margin.

margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:10px; margin-left:10px; margin-right:10px;

And we also have a shortcut for margin.

margin:10px 20px 10px 40px; // top right bottom left, it works in clockwise direction.
