๐Ÿ™‹ Introduction

The padding-right property in CSS is used to define the space between the content of an element and its right border.

This property allows you to control the inner spacing, enhancing the readability and visual appeal of your webpage by ensuring that the content does not touch the borders directly.

๐Ÿ’ก Syntax

The syntax for the padding-right property is straightforward. You can specify the padding using various units like pixels, ems, percentages, etc.

Syntax

Copy To Clipboard
element {
  padding-right: value;
}

Here, value can be a length, percentage, or the keyword auto.

๐ŸŽ›๏ธ Default Value

The default value of the padding-right property is 0, meaning there is no space added to the right side of the element by default.

๐Ÿ  Property Values

percentageSpecifies a padding amount as a percentage of the containing element's width. For example, 10%.
