How can I move text in HTML 5 like margin but without using margin because
two texts on my page repel each other with margin
You can either add padding, like indubitablee said.
Or you can create another div and wrap it around what you want, then add a margin to that.
try using padding http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_padding.asp
padding is generally creating space within an element whereas margin is creating space outside of an element. hope this helps

How can I add padding to the top of a single div? Is there a way to do it without modifying the .css file? I am using Bootstrap and there is no space between the carousel and the first div. I tried adding padding to the carousel, but the color of the left and right chevron overlap the padding, and this is not the look I want. I want a true white space between the two.
Try <div style="padding-top: 10px;"> :)
Use firebug on Chrome or Firefox and see which div or element inside the carousel needs the padding you want.
However, the best way would be to use CSS. As you said, you want a padding, and CSS has the padding property. As #Jorgen said, just add a padding top.
Otherwise use <br> instead as #Mr Lister said
Here is a very simply jsFiddle to demonstrate my problem: http://jsfiddle.net/ryandlf/mSmUv/4/
When an element has a top padding or margin and it sits on the first line within a div, the div does not respect that padding or margin and push the element down. In most cases this isn't an issue, but for example, if I have a button that has a top border and padding the top of the border will be cut off because the div is not taking into consideration the padding value.
Is there a workaround for this other than just blindly setting margins or padding on every container div element and hoping I have added enough to account for any internal element that might be affected?
your link with class button is not a block element, it is inline element. Change this default behaviour by adding dispaly: block to it and it will work as expected. Proof available on jsfiddle.
So to sum up, the problem is not with the div - it is the problem with css - inline elements ignore margin and padding because they cannot 'reserve space'.
UPDATE: To answer your comment, here is the solution you might be looking for
The button element is inline. To get the desired behavior you can set display:inline-block.
Check here
Try to add following to the parent div:
overflow: hidden
I hope it helps!
Ok, I am quite new to frontend development so please be nice if this is a dumb question :)
I understand that this may not be possible but when applying line-height to an element say an h1, the line-height applies extra space to both the top and bottom of that element.
This kind of makes sense, but i only want line-height to be applied to the bottom of the element so the tops of my h1, h2 etc can be alined perfectly with other elements.
This jsfiddle shows the problem: http://jsfiddle.net/zja4c/1/
This jsfiddle shows what i want to achieve but am forced to use negative margins: http://jsfiddle.net/25UTA/
The h1 with background colour of red aligns correctly to the top of the left div, but the text doesnt.
My question is therefore, is there a way to:
Apply line-height to only the bottom of an element or,
Align an element to the top of the space created by applying line-height somehow
Using line-height is your only option if you wish to maintain proper spacing across line-breaks. Padding will occur on the bottom of the block-level H1 element, as you pointed out. I think negative margins are your best bet, but you'll have to fine-tune it line up perfectly with a 50px line-height:
http://jsfiddle.net/25UTA/1/
If negative margins can't be used for some reason, you can use relative positioning and a negative top value to achieve a similar effect.

Using em's or percentage font-sizes and line-heights might make this eaiser.
None of these answers reference elements with their display set to inline.
Line-height is a setting that refers to inline elements. Every answer so far has referred to using padding and margin, which don't work with inline styled text.
You can modify the positioning of text within its line with vertical-align. Here's a link to an article that goes into copious detail about the property and how it works:
http://christopheraue.net/2014/03/05/vertical-align/
A simple solution is to make the line-height 70% and add a little bit of bottom padding.
p, h2 {
line-height:70%;
padding-bottom: 3px;
}
In my knowledge its not possible to apply line-height only for bottom using css.
So you can try with padding as user1538100 said.
You could forget line height completely and use padding-bottom:

I created this quick jsfiddle project to help you help me.
Why does margin-top for #container push the entire body downwards from html when I expect it to push #container from #containerWrapper ?
The idea is to have all the content inside container which would be placed with a margin right under the menu.
This is caused by margin-collapse which happens to two adjacent margins. The inner margin will collapse into the outer one and behaves like the one on the outer container block.
If you want to only apply margin on #containerWrapper, you could either use padding-top or put a border between #containerWrapper and its outer block container.
For that Purpose ,You may use padding-top
I was trying for display:inline property and I found same question for which I was looking....and here I got this answer, it makes me very clear ....but I am not clear about these lines ...
Basically margin, padding and border
can be set on inline-level elements,
but they may not behave as you expect.
The behavior will probably be OK if
there's only one line, but other lines
in the same flow will likely exhibit
behavior different from your
expectations (i.e. padding will not be
respected).
so please anybody can make me clear about these lines...I have also tried for display :inline here
You cannot set height, margin-top, margin-bottom, padding-top and padding-bottom on an inline element. You can set margin left and right an padding left an right.
You can set with on an inline element but then it will behave like a block element: See here
Inline Elements will always be displayed next to each other as long a they fit next to each other.
yes inline element behave differently other then block element. the main point of inline element is that is doesn't take vertical margin & padding.
inline elements like a, span
you can give inline-block instead of inline
this is a best example related to your question
http://www.maxdesign.com.au/articles/inline/
EDIT
yes, padding-bottom pushing the inline element down but it's not add any width to your inline element means when the content move to new line it's going to overlap each other & in block element margin, padding & border are adding width,height & space the block element
check these link for more
http://reference.sitepoint.com/css/inlineformatting
with this property set (display:inline) you can't set width and height of your element. Margin, padding & border is ok. I'd use floating instead, but that's because it gives me more flexibility sometimes. =]
It is saying that if you have an inline element that goes all the way to the right of the page and then wraps around to the left (for example, a single line of text that takes up two lines of space) then you may have unexpected consequences. In particular the padding may not display as desired.
An inline element, when it doesn't break on to multiple lines, respects left/right padding - so you see the padding-left and padding-right inside the left and right edges of the element respectively.
When the inline element does break on to multiple lines, the padding is somewhat respected, in that again both left and right inside edges of the element have padding. The part where it isn't respected is exactly the part where the element breaks, the break-point doesn't have any padding because it simply spreads itself onto the next line.
A block element on the other hand, does respect padding properly because it adds the padding and the contents of the element break inside that padding.
Here's a quick image to help explain what I've explained:
