margin-left

The margin-left CSS property sets the margin area on the left side of an element. A positive value places it farther from its neighbors, while a negative value places it closer.

The vertical margins of two adjacent boxes may fuse. This is called margin collapsing.

In the rare cases where width is overconstrained (i.e., when all of width, margin-left, border, padding, the content area, and margin-right are defined), margin-left is ignored, and will have the same calculated value as if the auto value was specified.

Values: <length> The size of the margin as a fixed value. For anchor-positioned elements, the anchor-size() function resolves to a <length> value relative to the associated anchor element’s width or height (see Setting element margin based on anchor size).

Syntax example: margin-left: 10px; /* An absolute length */
