How do I prevent the padding property from changing width or height in CSS?

Question

I am creating a site with DIVs. Everything\'s working out except when I create a DIV. I create them like this (example):

newdiv {
    width: 200         


        

Answer 1

If you would like to indent text within a div without changing the size of the div use the CSS text-indent instead of padding-left.

.indent {
  text-indent: 1em;
}
.border {
  border-style: solid;
}

  Non indented






  Indented
