    Spacing paras/list items less crudely

    Gave you what was in there, copied directly off the external CCS style sheet entry. Parameters above would have been left as defaults so not entered specifically. BTW (Sonjay) I really like your TWW index page -- very clean, nice typography. Some Q's about that, I'll start another thread.

    Spacing paras/list items less crudely

    At this point I have lost the structure of the page - the new paras don't appear as new paras and there is a 0.5 em spacing appearing more or less at random! I'm on a learning curve here and not far up it ;8-) Incidentally I realise there is a mixture of CSS style sheet and some additonal...

    Rubber tables

    I'm doing a news page (in Dreamweaver) based on a table with a variable two column layout down the page that is roughly like this: narrow cell + wide cell, wide cell + narrow cell etc When I check the output in a browser, the narrow columns appear wide and vice versa, or more often they are...

    Spacing paras/list items less crudely

    Okay, I am clear now about what is line-height and what is margin and margin is what I want to adjust. Can anyone tell me why my html above is wrong.? Whether it's px or ems I feel I should be able to see the white space alter

    Spacing paras/list items less crudely

    I think from my limited knowledge of CSS "line-height" would alter all the line spacing, so I "margin-bottom" looks like what I want: I have tried as below: <p class="bodyMssg" {margin-bottom:8px;}>They assign a Centurion (officer) and some soldiers to guard Paul and some other...

    Spacing paras/list items less crudely

    Is there a way of spacing paragraphs or lists less crudely? As I understand it, html allows for closed up paras or lists, or a complete line in between, but that's all. I would like my copy to look more like a printed page e.g. half a line or so of extra space between paras. Anyone know of a...

    mailto: link not recognised

    I’m having difficulty with my email links (made in DreamWeaver MX). Basically my Mac browsers don’t detect the links and Safari puts up an error message: “mailto: links not recognised in OS X”. Well, “mailto:” is the standard way of flagging up an email link. Works fine in the PC browsers. Can...
