help please

Hi

tried code but since I am using lots of these to highlight etc key words
it mucks up, anyway
I got it working using
pre.samplecode
{
border-style: solid solid solid solid;
border-width: thin thin thin thin;
float: left;
visibility: visible;
height: auto;
background-color: white;
font-family: monospace;
position: relative;
padding-left: 2pt;
width: 50em;
Font-style: normal;
Border-color: black;

}
the problem now is I wanted the text to wrap around this this, which it does
but I can't gt padding to give some space between, I uploaded the file
if anyone cares to look

You only specified the padding on the left side, do something like this:
padding: 5px 10px 10px 2px to specify the padding on the top, right,
bottom and left.

BTW: code like:[color=blue]

Can be shortened to:
border-style: solid;
border-width: thin;

Or eben better:
border: thin solid black;

Cheers.

Re: help please

Thanks for the reply, I have pinned down the problem to the

pre.samplecode, which I used float:left

I decided to place a line around all p tabs and noticed I could not see it
when it floated around pre.samplecode
