CSS, HTML: What's the best way to add space to the inside of a scrollable element?
Question
Both horizontally and vertically?
I am using jquery ui's draggable feature constrained within a div, and I need a large internal area to work with.
Solution
Use padding
on the scrollable element and then use margin
's on the children.
OTHER TIPS
Padding is what you are looking for. Here's a little guide to using it. http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_padding.asp
There is also a guide to the "box model" which will come in handy learning how margins, borders, padding etc. effect a element. It's on the left navigation panel of the link above (I can't post 2 links)
