Border around text spacing

[Kev]

Hi,

A simple problem i am stuck on.

I have at the head of the home page (www in design stage) a sentance that i have bordered but how do i get the border edges (Left & right) to display at say 30px from the words, They run to the page border which looks naff.

I can get them right if i determin a page border size but that will only look ok if everyone views at the same screen size as me !!!! Which is'nt gonna happen. I want it to look right whatever size you view it in..

 

Thanks Kev

I can't access your page to be sure, but it sounds like you just need to add some padding to that paragraph. You might do something like this:

 

Sentence here.

 

.sentence-border {

padding: 0 30px;

}

Thanks, Still trying to achieve the desired effect.

I'll get there hopefully..

P is block. Float it left and/or give desired width (and padding)...
