  I tried using html to insert a border about a particular paragraph and had no luck. I was using the <table><tr></tr></table> code. Can someone help?

  Okay I add this to the paragraph

  <div style=”border:1px #solid; padding: 1.2em;”>

  and this to the end

  </div>

  Nothing changed? What did I do wrong?

  Fortunately someone on Sitepoint was able to answer this question a couple of days ago, and his solutions worked perfectly. Thanks..

  For the record this is was they suggested and it works fine…

  <div style=”border:1px solid red; padding:16px;”>

  Paragraph

  </div>

  Obviously substitute the color border you want and increase or decrease the padding….
