HTMLImageElement.vspace

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This feature is obsolete.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 vspace property of the HTMLImageElement interface specifies the number of pixels of empty space to leave empty on the top and bottom of the <img> element when laying out the page.

Syntax

htmlImageElement.vspace = marginHeight;
marginHeight = htmlImageElement.vspace;

Value

An integer value specifying the height, in pixels, of the vertical margin to apply to the top and bottom sides of the image.

Usage notes

The value specified for vspace is mapped to the margin-top and margin-bottom properties to specify the height 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Important: This property is obsolete.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>.
