Sequence of Padding & Margin Property values

Hi

Can anybody verify my comprehension below?

Working clockwise, Top (0), Right (5), Bottom(30), Left(0) margin: 0 5px 30px 0; padding: 0 5px 30px 0;

/* two values, first is top & bottom(5), second is right & left(0) */
margin: 5px 0;
padding: 5px 0;

/* one value, Zero for all four sides  */
margin: 0;
padding: 0;

thanks,

Tony.

Hi Tony, That is correct! To complete your thoughts, if you specify three values, than the order will be: top, left/right, bottom. Happy Coding
