how to align label within margin of a panel?

[Steve Richter]

I want my panel to have an inner margin. Problem is label text does
not appear to recognize the margin. In this example, the TextBox
aligns on the margin, the label does not:

<aspanel id="Panel1" runat="server"
BackColor="gainsboro"
Scrollbars=Both Style="margin:25px;"
Height="200px"
Width="300px">

Panel1: Here is some static content...
<br />

<asp:Label Text="Label 1" runat=server />
<br />
<asp:TextBox ID=TextBox1 runat=server />
</aspanel>

What is the correct HTML/CSS way to get text to recognize the margin
of a div?

thanks,

-Steve

a div's margin is outside its content area and border. what you want to
set is padding.

style="padding:25px;"


or set the margin of the label.
