how can you make another element that's orientated on one that already exists?

Question

I've got a page with an element [solid border] and I want to add another smaller element to that [dotted border] with a padding of 5px, now I don't know if it's somehow margin-right:5px or padding-right 5px

Please provide the CSS and HTML you are using. – Stephen King Aug 31 '15 at 19:37 — Stephen King, Aug 31 '15 at 19:37

It's margin. You need to understand that padding - it's inside margin, and margin - it's outside margin. Read this answer to understand it!
