mickeymouse 0 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 My css definition is: p.six {width: 50%; height: 250px; margin-top: 30px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; border-style: solid; border width: 2px; border-color: blue; align: center; text-align: center; padding: 30px; background-color:white} Whatever I do with the "height" specification or even remove it completely, the height of my box remains the same at the original 250px. Actually, just noticed that a few other things don't work - like the width and background-color. I change these and nothing happens; it retains the original specs.

mickeymouse 0 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 OK. It looks like I'm using the wrong tag to get my box and write-up in the box. It seems I should be using Table tag which I've now tried. However, the width or max-width is not working. I show 50% but the box takes up the width of me widest line of text.

Ingolme 1,027 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 You shouldn't use a table. Just set min-height rather than height. This solution won't work for tables. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
