Remarks
This is a composite property that specifies up to four padding values, in the following order: top, right, bottom, left. If one width value is specified, it is used for all four sides. If two width values are specified, the first is used for the top and bottom borders, and the second is used for left and right borders. If three width values are specified, they are used for top, right/left, and bottom borders, respectively. Negative values are not allowed.
As of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5, this property applies to inline elements. With earlier versions of Internet Explorer, inline elements must have an absolute position or layout to use this property. Element layout is set by providing a value for the height property or the width property.
Examples
The following examples use the padding attribute and the padding property to change the padding of the object.This example uses td as a selector and padding1 as a class in an embedded style sheet to set the padding for the td object.
<STYLE>
This example uses inline scripting to set the cell's top and bottom padding to 0.5 centimeters and its left and right padding to 0.2 centimeters when an onmouseover event occurs.
<TD onmouseover="this.style. padding ='0.5cm 0.2cm'" onmouseout="this.style. padding =''" ALIGN=middle> <IMG src="sphere.jpeg"> </TD>Standards Information
