Hi All, As my HTML knowledge is on par with a pre-schooler and my spelling isn't much better , I need a little help. I need to move the left hand margin over about 10% on one of my pages. What do I use and where? BTW, it is for text. TIA, ------------------ Jim Harrawood Utah Rails
You need to tabulate the text. By that, I mean you need to use tr, td, and table width= commands. I had a look at your site and the first thing I noticed was the text sitting left. You have pre-empted me contacting you. Which page/s are you concerned with? I can check it later and send it to you in an email. Did you get the problem sorted with the Google link sitting to the left in Netscape? I posted the fix for you in your previous forum post. Gary. ------------------ Gary A.

Hi Gary, I played around with the Google for a while then said the heck with it. As far as the margin goes, I'll probably play with it later. I knew there had to be an easy was to do it. I just didn't think of the table bit. Thanks a lot. May learn how to do this stuff some day Later, ------------------ Jim Harrawood Utah Rails

Hey Gary, I got my TR's and TD's figured out I think. The page I wanted to do it on is http://www.geocities.com/utahrails/utahrails/RRs/DRGW.html Thanks for the tips. PS: In fact, I am changing all the pages for the better looking left margin. Later, ------------------ Jim Harrawood Utah Rails
hey Jim, I see you have that page under control! I did note you used the cellspacing command to give you the margins. On single column set-ups, that works fine, but you end up with double the spacing between the column when 2 or more are used. Another path you can follow is specifying the width of the table as a percentage of the the page width and centering it on the page. This is particularly effective where there are 2 or more columns present. Gary. ------------------ Gary A. Rose The Unofficial TC&W page N to the Nth degree!

Count me as one of the HTML-challenged! I've got a site on AOL Hometown, but I want to add extra pages, animated graphics, links to my model RR club, kids, the Kiamichi Railroad, etc. I'm ever-so-slowly learning this stuff, and the page you told us about is now posted in my Favorites file. As I improve, so will my Website! ------------------ Ship IT on the Frisco! Bob T. http://hometown.aol.com/slsf1630/myhomepage/profile.html
