adding margins to HTML pages

It is relatively easy to create HTML pages within WebCT. Create HTML pages (web pages) loads content faster for students and elimintates the need for downloading. There are simply fewer variables if an HTML page (instead of a word document) is used to deliver content.

Unfortunately, the webpages created from within WebCT do not have any page margins, and so text aligns with the edge of the page, and so right up against the course tools menu.

To add margins to a page, you can simply cut and paste the following text at the top of your HTML page (make sure you have selected the option to “use HTML”). Add your own content below this code.

body {
margin-left: 32px;
width: 80%;
line-height: 150%;
}
li {
font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;
}
