<p> margin and images

[coiL]

when I put a <p> block of text</P> next to an image the css styles that I have specified don't work. (margin etc) Is there a trick to this?

Any help would be great.

How exactly have you specified your CSS?

Could you post a snippet of example code, with before and after problems?

[coiL]

css in style sheet:
p {margin-left: 30pt;
margin-right: 30pt;}


part of code:
<img src="pic.jpg" align="left">
<p> blah blah long paragraph wriiten here</p>

The paragraph does not seem to have any margin though as the text starts right next to the image.

/edit fixed typos..I think

Coil,

Set the margin property(ies) of the <img>.

This will create some whitespace between the text and the img.
