Left Padding in html using style sheet?



Explanation

Property: Left Padding

Usage:
padding-left: 10px;
padding-left: 10pt;
padding-left: 10%;
padding-left: auto;

Definition:
This will set the left padding of the object.
It takes the following values.
a)pt : You can set values in points. (e.g: 10pt or 100pt).
b)px : You can set values in pixels. (e.g: 10px or 100px).
c)% : You can set values in percentage. (e.g: 10% or 100%).
d)auto : This will set a automatic margin.

Example 1:

Note: The difference between padding and margin is that padding set values inside the objects scope, while margin moves the whole object away from the nearby object.


Example 2:
<div style="padding-left: 30pt;">testing left padding</div>

Example 3:
<div style="padding-left: 10%;">testing left padding</div>

We don't recommend this as it might cause issues in few browsers like IE

<div style="padding-left: auto;">testing left padding</div>

Result:
