how do I indent a list ?

blacktears · 28-06-2005, 16:08

I have a list of text on a site I am making but am having problems with indenting. I used &nbsp at one point but some computers aren't seeing the text properly.

What I have is...

- words like this then instead of being right they go like this
and it doesn't look right.

What I want is the words on the bottom line to be positioned under the letters of the top line and not underneath the dash.

I have tried the css indent thing but I was hoping there was another css way of doing it...

Why not use a list tag and use CSS to format the list ?

She knows a little css

I have done most of the site using it, but it is a simple site. If you wouldn't mind directing me to the code that I have to use to style the list.
