padding-left

The padding-left CSS property sets the width of the padding area to the left of an element.

An element’s padding area is the space between its content and its border.

Note: The padding property can be used to set paddings on all four sides of an element with a single declaration.

Values: <length> The size of the padding as a fixed value. Must be non-negative. <percentage> The size of the padding as a percentage, relative to the inline size (width in a horizontal language, defined by writing-mode) of the containing block. Must be non-negative.

Syntax example: padding-left: 0.5em;
