Hi

 

I am writing css, and my text is going right the way across my page.

 

I was wondering if anyone can help me sort this out. I'm a newbie to writing code, so be gentle! lol.

 

I am guessing I will need to set the left and right margin. Do you know how I would do this?

p{margin:0 1.5em 0 1em}

 

You can use any type of measurements, em, pt, px etc.

 

The numbers come in a compass sequence (north east south west, or clockwise, whichever is easier for you to remember).

 

and remember, margins are outside an element, padding is inside.

 

P.S the p{} means it will apply to all <p></p> tags

thanks, with this, am i able to set the margin a different colour from the center where i want text, or is that a little more complex? thanks x

Not sure exactly what you mean.
