how do u move html to the left using css

hi,
i am trying to move my html page down and to the left using css. this is to make room for my header menu. at the moment my javascript header is over my html text. how can i use css to move my text down and to the left 50 pixels????

You can try using absolute positioning. For example:
.left
.right
.top
.bottom

cheers, but i have
body{position:absolute; right:100px; top:50px;}
in my file.css but this does not move anything in my html file. (i know my file.css works cos if i change the color it changes in the html file). The only other thing is that i have php in my files.

can u help

Try using the tags I mentioned and <SPAN>ing your text not the body.

This site will answer your question.

What specificly are you trying to move? Images, Text, etc.? I would suggest putting all of your HTML page in a table (except the header, which should be in a different table) and then in the table tags use:

style="position:absolute;top:150px;left50px;"

That should work, and it will definitly not work in just the Body {}, use Table {} or Tr {} or Td {}.
