# Style paddingBottom Property

Style Object

## Definition and Usage

The paddingBottom property sets or returns the bottom padding of an element.

## Syntax

Set the paddingBottom property:

Object.style.paddingBottom="%|length|inherit"

Return the paddingBottom property:

Object.style.paddingBottom

Value | Description
--- | ---
% | Defines the bottom padding in % of the width of the parent element
length | Defines the bottom padding in length units
inherit | The bottom padding is inherited from the parent element

## Browser Support

The paddingBottom property is supported in all major browsers.

Note: The value "inherit" is not supported in IE7 and earlier. IE8 requires a !DOCTYPE. IE9 supports "inherit".

## Tips and Notes

Both the margin property and the padding property insert space around an element. However, the difference is that margin inserts the space around the border, while padding inserts the space within the border of an element.

## Example

Change the bottom padding of a div element:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#ex1
{
border: 1px solid #FF0000;
}
</style>
<script>
function displayResult()
{
document.getElementById("ex1").style.paddingBottom="100px";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="ex1">This is some text.</div>
<br>
<button type="button" onclick="displayResult()">Change bottom padding</button>
</body>
</html>
