HTMLImageElement.hspace

Obsolete
This feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.

The obsolete hspace property of the HTMLImageElement interface specifies the number of pixels of empty space to leave empty on the left and right sides of the <img> element when laying out the page.

This property reflects the HTML hspace attribute.

Syntax

htmlImageElement.hspace = marginWidth;
marginWidth = htmlImageElement.hspace;

Value

An integer value specifying the width, in pixels, of the horizontal margin to apply to the left and right sides of the image.

Usage notes

The value specified for hspace is mapped to the margin-left and margin-right properties to specify the width of those margins in pixels.

Important: This property is obsolete. You should instead use the CSS margin property and its longhand forms to establish margins around an <img>.
