Image padding

[adamnichols45]

I have an image and im wrapping the text around to the right side and underneth.

How can I apply padding of 5pm to just that 1 image on the page?

Not quite sure what you mean. I might be a bit thick.

Can you post any XHTML or an "illustration" of what you want?

I am assuming that the standard "float," "margin" and "padding" is not what you seek.

I managed todo it like this!

.ab {
margin-right: 10;
margin-bottom: 1;
}

I was using padding to no effect but margin is working fine.

Yeah, I've been bitten by the same thing. I suspect that SuzyUK could explain it, but I believe that images don't have anything to "pad," as the image itself is the entire display.

I also think that images are inline, but you should be able to pad inline elements.

margin is the right thing to use imo.

.ab {
margin-right: 10;
margin-bottom: 1;
}

but 10 what?.. 1 what? ;)
make it easy for the browsers tell them exactly what you'd like (px, em, cm) or you might not get a consistent result

>>re: padding v margin on an image
what's your Doctype?
