Are the image tags inline or inline-block because it seems to respect the margin-top?

.img-featured { float: right; margin: 15px 0 15px 15px; }

I tried using display: inline , display: inline-block and display: block. It seems to be the same results though. The display:inline still respect the top margin. From what I read on https://teamtreehouse.com/community/advantages-of-inline-over-inline-blocks community. the display:inline shouldn't respect the top margin.

If anyone could please enlighten that would be great! :)

Hi Luke, So, I'm not sure I understand your question exactly. Images are inline elements but in your CSS you have given the image a defined top margin of 15px. Therefore, your image element will respect the CSS rule, unless you override the rule.

Hi David,

Thank you for your reply. No worries, I managed to get an answer from stackoverflow and w3schools. I was actually confuse why did the img tags respect the margin-top properties when in the first place I thought it was an inline element.

It's actually because img tags are considered as inline-block element which means that it does respect the margin-top and margin-bottom properties as inline element do not respect the margin-top and margin-bottom properties.
