Web Design (text touching borders)

When I placed my text within my page, it's right up against the left border web design. Is there any way I can correct this?

Could you post a working link to the page you're having problems with? You probably need to add some padding to the box containing the text (use CSS).

If your text is in paragraphs and lists, you can also add side margins to push them away from the side. Put this in your CSS :

p, ul, ol (
margin-left: 1.5em;
margin-right: 1.5em;
}

(or any size you fancy.)

Useful if you are using the BODY as a container, or if the container DIV needs a specific width.

There are other alternatives, too. Post a link as Megan suggests so we can see your problem for ourselves. Best wishes.

Cordially, David
