If you want test margin spaces on all 4 sides of a <P> tag you can use the following HTML and CSS document. It allows you to specify margin spaces with different values and validate them with legend boxes.

<html><head>
<style type="text/css">
  H1 {font-size: 20px}
  DIV.page {width: 475px; border: 1px solid black}
  TABLE#out {background-color: #ffdddd}
  TD#box {border: 1px solid black}
  P#box {width: 300px; height: 300px; 
    padding: 30px 10px 40px 20px; 
    border-style: solid dotted double dashed;
    border-width: 30px 10px 40px 20px;
    border-color: #ff0000 #00ff00 #0000ff #000000;
    margin: 30px 10px 40px 20px; 
    background-color: #ddddff}
  TD.legend#w30 {height: 30px; background-color: #ffffff}
  TD.legend#g30 {height: 30px; background-color: #dddddd}
  TD.legend#data {height: 160px; background-color: #ffffff}
  TD.legend#w40 {height: 40px; background-color: #ffffff}
  TD.legend#g40 {height: 40px; background-color: #dddddd}
</style>
</head><body><div class="page">

<table id=out><tr>
<td id=box><p id=box><script language="JavaScript">
  for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
    for (j=0; j<10; j++) {
      document.write(j+' ');
    }
  }
</script></p></td>
