Text Margins in HTML

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Is there any HTML code to make text margins? Everything I have found on Google is either for a special program, or doesn’t work at all.

I just don’t want all my text on the very edge of the window with my webpage, maybe 3/4″ on each side? But I’ll experiment with the amount of margin space…

Thanks,
Mark

<style type = "text/css">

body {

margin:20px;

}

</style>

@Mark89authorApr 04.2006 — that didn't work. go to http://designatedrecords.wildavisproductions.com to see what i mean when i say it's on both edges. i want there to be a good amount of space between the text and the edge of the window.

@stacywacyApr 04.2006 — That's the only way I know how to do it, and it works for me. Substitute the 20px for whatever number you want. Also you can try (I don't know the short-hand way),

<style type = "text/css">

margin-left: 200px;

margin-right: ;

margin-top: ;

margin-bottom: ;

</style>

Or, do you just want to center your whole page?

@Mark89authorApr 04.2006 — does px stand for pixels?

Success!
