margin-right property

Sets or retrieves the width of the right margin of the object.

Syntax

margin-right: <margin-width> | inherit

Property values

margin-width: Default. Right margin is set equal to the left margin.
inherit: Integer, followed by a percent sign (%). The value is a percentage of the width of the parent object.

CSS information

Applies To	All elements
Media	visual
Inherited	no
Initial Value	0

Standards information

CSS 2.1, Section 5.5.2

Remarks

You can specify possible length values relative to the height of the element's font (em) or the height of the letter "x" (ex).

In Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, the specified margin value is added to the default value of the object. In Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and later, the margin value is absolute. The margin properties do not work with the td and tr objects in Internet Explorer 4.0, but they do work in Internet Explorer 3.0. To set margins in the cell for Internet Explorer 4.0 and later, apply the margin to an object, such as div or p, within the td.

This property applies to inline elements, starting with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5. With earlier versions of Windows 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.

Negative margins are supported, except for top and bottom margins on inline objects.

Examples

The following examples use the margin-right attribute and the marginRight property to change the margin of the object.

This example uses img as a selector and margin1 as a class in an embedded style sheet to set the right margin of an image when an onclick event or ondblclick event occurs.

Code example: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/margin-right.htm


<STYLE>
    IMG { margin-right:1cm }
    .margin1 { margin-right:2cm }
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<IMG src="sphere.jpg" onclick="this.className='margin1'"
    ondblclick="this.className=''">

This example uses inline scripting to set the right margin of the image to 1 centimeter when the onclick event occurs.

Code example: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/marginRight.htm


<IMG src="sphere.jpeg" onclick="this.style.marginRight='1cm'">
