Padding or Margin

Hello,

I've some difficulities when using padding or margin to position an
element (alone on page alongside other elements OR inside another
parent element). Can I say usually I will use margin to position or
create some room between parent elements and padding to position or
create some room between a parent element and child elements like a
header with its links bar, search div, image div...
If someone can tell me when using margin and padding it will help
me.
Ithk to all.

PS: my question is not about absolute, fixed, relative or float
position - only when to use margin or pdding to create room between
elements.
