How Margins Work for the IMG Element

I usually use a WYSIWYG editor for getting code out in a hurry, but I’m fairly proficient when it comes to HTML. Today, however, I wanted to force a margin around an image for a buffer but I incorrectly used a parameter of “margin” and assigned a pixel value. What one is supposed to do is use HSPACE and VSPACE.

HSPACE will create a margin of the specified pixel size on the left and right of the image.
VSPACE will create a margin of the specified pixel size on the to and bottom of the image.

For example:
<img src=”http://www.365discoveries.com/images/image.jpg” hspace=”5″ vspace=”3″ />
Will create a 5 pixel margin on the left and right of the image and a 3 pixel margin on the top and bottom of the image.
