DIV Questions

[Luke]

Hey, not familiar with divs and css, so got a couple of questions.

I have the container, and i want it in the center of the screen, but i don't want the text centered, how would I go about this?

And in this content box, how would i put a 5px "indent" on the left and right so the text isn't right at the edge like this:

Many Thanks

First one:

margin-right:auto;
margin-left:auto;

Second:
padding-left:<number>px;
padding-right:<number>px;

Thanks, however the padding done this:

minus from the width the sum of the padding.

For example if your code was:


width:200px;
padding-left:10px;
padding-right:10px;


you'd change the width to be 180px to counter act the addition of padding.
