I need a code that will keep text constrained to a certain box. What is this called, and where can I find one?

here's a simple way of doing it....

<div class="mybox">
<p>My text and content goes here...</p>
</div>

Then the basic CSS...

.mybox {
width: 50% /* alter to your width*/
}

So, what would the final code be?

He gave it to you ! Put the text inside the <div>, give the <div> a width and put your text inside the div, your text will be constrained inside the <div>.

Sorry, it's just that I'm not very good at code.

I need the text to be over an image, and I need the width to be 234 pixels. I can't figure out how to get that to work. Any help?

.mybox {
width: 234px;
background-image:url('/images/somedumbbackgroundtile.jpg')
}

Where does the .mybox go in the code?

Bump!
