---

Sets or retrieves how much space to insert between the object’s left border and the content.

CSS	{ padding-left: length | percentage }
Script	object.style.paddingLeft = length | percentage

length	Floating-point number and a valid CSS length unit: either an absolute units designator ( cm, mm, in, pt, pc, or px ) or a relative units designator ( em or ex ).
percentage	Value expressed as a percentage of the parent object’s width.

The property is read/write with a default value of 0; this attribute is not inherited.

Negative values are not allowed.

The sample below uses inline event handlers to dynamically set an object’s paddingLeft property in response to mouse events.

<td onmouseover="this.style.paddingLeft='1cm'"
   onmouseout="this.style.paddingLeft=''">
      <img src="../shared/images/neptune.gif">
</td>
