Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / CSS / December 2005Make white space between <p> and <ul> equal to font size
My design goal is to make the white space above and below <p> and <ul> equal to the height of my font. The first step to achieving this I believe is to have an equal amount of white space above or below <p> and <ul>. Can someone suggest a method using css to accomplish this? I have succeeded in doing this in IE6 but I'd also like to know if there's a method to achive this goal that will have a similar visual look in other modern browsers.

I think you're saying that the margin for both will be 1em top and bottom and 0 left and right. Two questions. Will this have a similar look in IE6 and other browsers? Why bother to specify 0 for left and right margins, why not omit this?

Check it out for yourself in various browsers, or are you trying to say you are lazy and want others to do it for you?

One person gets a question answered, and thousands of future people can find the answer instantly. None of us want to research a problem, find that someone's asked the same question before - only to find the answer was something like "check it out your lazy self."

So you are comfortable with others figuring it out for you? Your problem is very minor and can be easily researched in a matter of minutes on your own. I stand by my lazy comment.

Isn't that what Newsgroups are all about? People who don't know, ask people who do, and the answers are there forever for others to find? Long live Newsgroups. If people had to work it out for themselves there's no point in Newsgroups. I fully understand your point about people needing to be prepared to help themselves though too, and not be totally lazy. It's a fine line at times :-) SignatureFree washing machine help and advice. www.washerhelp.co.uk www.xyzed.co.uk/newsgroups/top-posting.html > Isn't that what Newsgroups are all > about?

What you describe is a helpdesk with a good archiving and tracking and tracing system, not a newsgroup in usenet. > Long live Newsgroups.

TIA margin: 1em 0; The left and right don't have to be specified, but the alternative is margin-top:1em; margin-bottom:1em; Its just easier to do: margin: 1em 0; If you just did: margin: 1em; That would make the left and right margins 1em too, and you probably don't want that. |
