Quick css question

[st00dent]

Hi guys, im trying to learn css but am having a few problems. Im trying to get the text on the left of the page to align left, but it refuses to move from the centre, can anyone see what im doing wrong?

Heres the css

/* CSS Document */
#container {
position:absolute;
top: 15%;
width:100%;
margin:0px;
border:1px solid gray
}

#left {
float:left;
border-right:1px solid gray
}

#main {
margin-left: 20%;
border-right:1px solid gray
}

ul.navgation {
list-style-type: none;
text-align: left
}

It is - <ul> just has a default margin

Add the following to the top of the CSS to remove all the default margins/padding which will simplify learning imo

* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
[/code]
So what you write will be closer to what you actualy see as browsers won't show their default margin/paddings

Thanks, is this seen as bad practice in anyway? I will be assessed on this you see
