HTML

[Kathryn]

Hi - can somebody help me with an HTML code. I have a background for a web page that has a border down the left hand side. How do I get the text to start in from the border. I tried blockquote but I don't need the indent on both sides.

Hi Kathryn,

Usually in this situation people align the text inside a table, and will extend the second column to the correct distance.

[Para]

Add ALIGN="LEFT" to table or cell

ie. <TABLE ALIGN="LEFT">

Another way would be to have an empty table cell over the border.

<table>
<tr><td width="SIZE OF BORDER + A FEW">*nbsp;</td>
<td valign=top>

SITE CONTENT

</td></tr></table>
