what is the difference between padding and margin when it comes to box elements?

I could be wrong but I believe margins control blank space around an element and padding controls space from the border of your div inward...

okay that makes sense
thanks

One example is that the distance from the edge of the page to your outside table border is a margin. The distance from the inside of your table border to a contained object would be padding.
