With margin you can specify each side in one line, the order is; top, right, bottom, left.

4,888 PointsWhen writing margins in CSS, you can use the root "margin" with 4 descriptors going in order; top, right, bottom, left. So for your example:
nav ul { margin: 0 10px 0 10px; }
or..... since your top/bottom and left/right are the same you could do this. The first measurement is for the top and bottom and the second for the right and left.
nav ul { margin: 0 10px; }
