Style paddingBottom Property
Style Object
Definition and Usage
The paddingBottom property sets or returns the bottom padding of an element.
Syntax
Set the paddingBottom property:
Object.style.paddingBottom="%|length|inherit"
Return the paddingBottom property:
Object.style.paddingBottom
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| % | Defines the bottom padding in % of the width of the parent element |
| length | Defines the bottom padding in length units |
| inherit | The bottom padding is inherited from the parent element |
Browser Support
The paddingBottom property is supported in all major browsers.
Note: The value "inherit" is not supported in IE7 and earlier. IE8 requires a !DOCTYPE. IE9 supports "inherit".
Tips and Notes
Both the margin property and the padding property insert space around an element. However, the difference is that margin inserts the space around the border, while padding inserts the space within the border of an element.
Example
Example
Change the bottom padding of a div element:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#ex1
{
border: 1px solid #FF0000;
}
</style>
<script>
function displayResult()
{
document.getElementById("ex1").style.paddingBottom="100px";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="ex1">This is some text.</div>
<br>
<button type="button" onclick="displayResult()">Change bottom padding</button>
</body>
</html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#ex1
{
border: 1px solid #FF0000;
}
</style>
<script>
function displayResult()
{
document.getElementById("ex1").style.paddingBottom="100px";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
