A mnemonic for the order of CSS margin and padding shorthand properties

Question

I can never remember the order of the shorthand property for setting the margin or padding in one declaration. That is:

margin-top:    2px;
margin-bottom: 4px;
m         


        

Answer 1

Just think clockwise, it's the easiest way. Starts at the top and goes around... much easier to remember than some silly phrase (provided you know how to read a clock...)
