Help with HTML needed
i have a poll running on my website and i have just a basic working knowledge of HTML writing.

i would like to reduce the LENGTH of the poll box as it appears on my web site. here is a paste of the beginning of the poll's html which i believe lies my answer in changing the length

i do not mind stretching out the wideth if i have to.

thanks for your time

You want to change the HTML. The bolded line is what I changed. The value was set to 150, I changed it to 400.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>SKOWHEGAN POLL</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BACKGROUND="" BGCOLOR="#FEFEFE" LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#3300FF" ALINK="#0000FF" topmargin="0"
