CSS margin for text...

[irock]

<div align=left class="text">blah blah blah</div>

I would like to know if there's a way to add CSS left, right, top, bottom margin inside <div> w/o modifying my "text" class.

Thanks!

you can add more than one class to the div:

<div align=left class="text margin">blah blah blah</div>

then define your margins in a class called margin.

One more question...

How do I define 2 pixel, 2 pixel, 2 pixel, 2 pixel for top, bottom, left & right margin? I forgot the exact syntax.

Thanks again!

i think you can just put

.margin{
margin:2px;
}

[irock]

How do I put that inside <div> tags w/o adding another class? Is that possible?

[benihana]

well you could put <div style="margin:2px;" class="text">

but if you are going to use it more than once, then make another class.

alternatively, if all divs are to have the same margin, put this in your css:

div {
margin:2px;
}

Or you could make a new class in your stylesheet

.someclass { margin: 2px; }

and have both classes applied to the div

<div align=left class="text, someclass">blah blah blah</div>

If they are all the same, you can use the shortcut methof benihana mentioned. If they're different the order is Top, Right, Bottom, Left. You can remember the order because you'll be in TRouBLe if you don't. :)
