Text Margins in HTML

[Mark89]

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

Do you mean like

<style type = "text/css">
body {
margin:20px;
}
</style>

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.

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?

does px stand for pixels?

Yes, but you can use whatever you want %, em, px, pt, or whatever works for you.
