When designing a CSS based website it is very useful to understand Margins. I have found that it is much easier to deal with browser compatibility when one uses proper margin styles. Trying to set a top: -10px seems to cause browser issues that can be easily avoided by using margin-top:-10px. Margins can be applied to the outside of any block level or inline element Read More...
Padding can be applied to the outside edges of the content area of any block level or inline element. Padding creates the space between the edge of the element and its content. Like margins, padding can be applied to individual sides of a box. p {padding: 10px} h1 {padding-top:0px} h2 {padding-right:5px} h2 {padding-bottom:7px} h3 {padding-left:10px} Padding can alse be applied using a single shorthand property Read More...
The background-color property sets the background color of an element. The backgound-image property applies a background image to an element, which will appear on top of any background-color. body { background-color:#000 } h1 { background-image:url(header.png); }

If padding, boder, or margin are applied to the same element, their measurements are added to the overall width Read More...
Universal selectors are used to select any element. For example , to set the margins and padding on every element to 0, * can be used. *{ margin: 0; padding: 0; } Universal selectors also can be used to select all elements within another elements. The code below will select any element inside the <p> element Read More...
Margins create space between the edge of an element and the edge of any adjacent elements. Padding creates the space between the edge of the element and its content. The margin and padding shorthand properties also can be used to make CSS code more concise. The margin property can combine margine-top, margin-right, margin-bottom, and margin-left Read More...
