Hi, Before year's end it would be nice to try the simplest CSS (maybe). Did a lot of googling and didn't find the answer. I want to have about a 1/2" left margin for the body of my page. <style type="text/css"> body {margin-left:20px} </style> http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ctmanshs/testindex.h tm Will this work? (p.s. just tried it and got "an error occurred while processing this directive) Yet both html & css validate. (Took a while to find the squiggly bracket on my keyboard :-) Thanks, George
