Ok here’s a silly problem I’m having.

What CSS tage will alow me to position text within a cell.

i.e.

I have a table with 5 columns. Each column in 100 px in width. I have text to be displayed as a link in each cell. The text should start at 14 pixels in height and 10 pixels in width.

I’ve been at w3schools for a while now but cannot figure an easy way out for this.

Thanks
