Hi, I am just refreshing my html and am going through the Css part of the beginners tutorial (how-to-bild-websites.com). Lesson 5: CSS Tutorial to be exact where we copy and paste the css into a text document. I have gone back three times to make sure I did it correctly. I found one mistake, which is in the css: margin top is listed as 50px and the example is 0px. The other one escapes me, however. The right column called <div id="centerDoc"> is only a few words wide and the example fills the whole page. Can anyone help me with this problem. Thanks, Richard Heer |

The margin-top: 50px; vs. 0 discrepancy has been fixed - but what do you mean by: The right column called <div id="centerDoc"> is only a few words wide and the example fills the whole page. I see  and am not quite sure what you mean by 'filling the whole page'.Btw - the red and blue boxes are lines I get when i use FF's Webdeveloper's "Outline Block Level Elements". ---------------------------------------- ... |

Thanks for replying, I stated that unclearly. What I meant was that the main page (right side) was very narrow, instead of wide enough to display the paragraph properly, as shown in the example. Thanks, Richard Heer |

Okay - I got you now. The width for <p> is set at 80%. That creates a margin on the right side, which (and its width) is a matter of preference. If you would want to spread it further, just up the %property. ---------------------------------------- ... |
