Reasons and solutions for margin not working in CSS

Margin is an attribute that specifies the spacing between elements, but margins cannot be specified for inline elements. This article will introduce to you the reasons why margin does not work in CSS and Solution.

The reasons why margin does not work

The reason why margin does not work is often because display is not taken into account: " display:block" or "display:inline".

HTML

<h3 id="这是一个内联块">这是一个内联块</h3>

CSS

h3{
  display:inline-block;
  background:#ffff00;
  width:12em;
  text-align:center;
  margin:0 auto;
}

"margin:0 auto;" for inline -block has no effect.
