This is my first attempt at CSS for control of page display. Previously
I used tables and CSS for the text,
How do I set a width limit for anything that appears on a page.
I tries this which does not work:
body {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
font-style: normal;
line-height: normal;
font-weight: normal;
color: #880000;
background: White;
valign:top;
width: 800px
}
Many thanks,

Hi Robin,
That's working OK in Firefox & Chromium on Linux. Can you explain "does
not work" in more detail? You've missed the semi-colon after "width:
800px" - I don't know if that might be causing problems in whichever
browser you're using. If you're trying to centre the content on the
screen, then you need to add "margin: auto;" to your CSS.
Separate point - "valign" is not a CSS property.
Hope that helps.
Lesley
