Default CSS Wrapped Line Indent - 08-05-2003 , 01:49 PM






Hi Friends,

On the menu on this page http://dev-medicine.emory.edu/divisions/pulm/ I've
used CSS to set a 12px indent on the sub-menu items.

On the items that wrap though the indent doesn't apply to the wrapped line.
Does anyone know how to get it to apply to the wrapped line?

Thank you,

The text-indent only applies to the first line, much like we used to
use for printed material. If you want the whole thing to be moved
over, use margin-left instead of text-indent.

Thanks, Gary. I feel kind of silly. I should have tried that before I went
crying for help.
