Shift the text within the div element without expanding its dimensions

As someone new to web development, I'm exploring ways to shift text within a div element without altering the size of the div itself. Padding was my initial approach, but it caused alignment issues with other text (such as moving down the Activity Log).

The goal is to center-align the text beneath "Current Status" and emphasize only the text "Current Status" and "Activity Log" in bold, leaving the rest unbolded.

$(function updat() {
  // code here
});

$(function dat() {
  // another function here
});

<div id="light" style="min-width: 310px; height: 200px; left:10px"></div>
<div id="temp&humid" style="min-width: 310px; height: 200px; left:10px"></div>
<div id="stacked"> </div>

<div id="parentContainer" style="margin-left:400px; width: 200px; margin-top: -20%" >

<div id="currentSatus"><center><b>Current Status<b><center></div>
<br>
<div id="temp" style=" background: #72D923;height: 50px"><font face='verdana'><center>Temperature<center></font> </div>
<div id="hum" style="background: red; height: 50px"><font face='verdana'><center>Humidity<center></font></div>
<div id="water" style="background:#72D923; height: 50px "><font face='verdana'><center>Water</center></font></div>
<div id="ligh" style="background: red; height: 50px"><font face='verdana'><center>Light</center></font></div>
 </div>

<div class=" activ" id="log" style="margin-left: 600px; text-align: center; margin-top: -18.5%"><center>Activity Log</center> </div>

Answer №1

After some investigation, I have come to a conclusion. It might be beneficial to utilize an editor like Sublime Text while working on HTML/CSS code. One important point to take away from this explanation is that the tags were not properly closed once they were opened. This issue was particularly noticeable with the <b> and <center> tags in the second section.
