FIGURE 4-10 he CSS box modelTSetting the border, padding, and margin properties
You can set the border, padding, and margin easily by assigning a value to the corresponding
property, as shown in the following style sheet rule.
p {
border: 10px;
padding: 25px;
margin: 15px;
background-color: yellow;
border-style: solid;
border-color: green;
}This style sheet rule sets the border width to 10 pixels on all four sides. The padding is set
to 25 pixels on all four sides, and the margin is set to 15 pixels on all four sides. Now consider
the following HTML document and how the style rule affects its rendering.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
<link href="default.css" rel="stylesheet" />
