Margin and Padding

[PetrolMonkey]

Hi All,

Padding and Margin aren't inherited, right? But do I have to specify them for every id and class I create or are they assumed zero unless stated otherwise?

Cheers PM:D

They are assumed to be whatever the default for the given browser sets them to (different for each browser) unless you set them differently. That's why so many people use

* {margin:0; padding:0}

I wish that I could give short effective answers like above. :D
