Components that Use Span

The margin property can have four values, such as 5px 5px 2px 1px to specify the top, right, bottom and left margins, respectively.

There are some components where setting even pixel-based width and height values have no effect. This is rare for layout components but typical for input and output components. For example, an input or output component uses a "span" element when an InlineStyle property is provided. Span elements do not respect dimensions (even pixel dimensions). You can make a span honor pixel dimensions and percentage widths by adding display: block; to the InlineStyle property.
