CSS - Adjustable Text Line Spacing And Space Between Letters.is It Possible On A Html Site

I'm trying out coding a skin for IPB, and there's an odd gap beneath all my footer tables/body elements. I've attached an image so you can see what I mean as it's all hosted on my PC.

Code:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding: 0px;" bgcolor="#363636">
  <tr height="30">
   	<td style="background: url(style_images/tmp/cat_foot_bg.gif);" height="25">
		<img src="style_images/tmp/cat_foot_far_left.gif" alt="" />
	</td>
    	<td style="background: url(style_images/tmp/cat_foot_bg.gif);">
		<img src="style_images/tmp/cat_foot_left.gif" alt="" />
	</td>
    	<td style="background: url(style_images/tmp/cat_foot_bg.gif);" width="100%">
		&nbsp;
	</td>
    	<td style="background: url(style_images/tmp/cat_foot_bg.gif);">
		<img src="style_images/tmp/cat_foot_right.gif" alt="" />
	</td>
    	<td style="background: url(style_images/tmp/cat_foot_bg.gif);">
		<img src="style_images/tmp/cat_foot_far_right.gif" alt="" />
	</td>
  </tr>
</table>
<!-- End Footer table -->
<!-- End Category -->

<br />

<!-- Begin new forum -->
<div style="display:none" id="fc_7"> 
	<!-- Begin Header table -->
	<table width="100%" style="background-image:url(style_images/tmp/cat_top_bg.gif)" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  		<tr width="100%">
			<td height="32" width="8" align="left">
				<img src="style_images/tmp/cat_top_far_left.gif" width="8" height="32" alt=" " border="0" />
			</td>
    			<td  height="32" width="103" align="left" valign="top">
				<img src="style_images/tmp/cat_top_left.gif" width="95" height="32" alt=" " border="0" />
			</td>

    			<td width="100%" style="background-image:url(style_images/tmp/cat_top_bg.gif)" align="left">
				<div align="left" class="desc"><strong><a href="http://localhost/forums/index.php?showforum=7">Yahoo ****</a></strong></div>
			</td>
  
    			 <td style="background-image:url(style_images/tmp/cat_top_bg.gif)" valign="top">
				<a href="javascript:togglecategory(7, 0);"><img src="style_images/tmp/cat_top_right.gif"  alt=" " border="0" /></a>
			</td>
			<td style="background-image:url(style_images/tmp/cat_top_bg.gif)">
				<img src="style_images/tmp/cat_top_far_right.gif" alt="" />
			</td>
  		</tr>
	</table>
	<--! End Header table -->
</div>

The <br /> is what I added today....it has no effect if I remove it.

The first table is what the bottom of the "row" would be, it's the bottom of the category in the screenshot. I assume it's CSS as my header image has the same spacing between my content, and my content has the same between my footer. There is no CSS for the html or body. In Firefox, it renders great, but IE has that white spacing...

I'd be grateful for any help as this has baffled me for the past few days alone

hey guys i'm having a problem with CSS line spacing. firefox is displaying correctly of course, and IE is scrunching the lines closer. here is an example (firefox on the right, IE on the left):



here is the CSS:

Code:

#galleriesTextContainer
{
height: 130px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
margin-left: 8px;
line-height: 8pt;
}

.galleriesText
{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
color: white;
font-family: Arial, Verdana, Sans Serif;
font-size: 11px;
}

Code:

<div id="galleriesTextContainer">
	<span class="galleriesText">dolphy day 2005 (132 images)<br />dolphy day 2004 (101 images)<br />buffalo wild wings (47 images)<br />lemoyne 2005 (425 images)<br />lemoyne 2004 (28 images)<br />lemoyne 2003 (147 images)<br />syracuse nationals 2004 (43 images)<br />nyc / jersey 2005 (245 images)<br />minutes monte (29 images)<br />my truck (67 images)<br />phil's t-type (70 images)
	</span>
</div>

Hi,

I am having difficulty with the line-spacing on several pages of this website.

One can be seen on this page the line spacing is not correct (it overlaps). The spacing should be like the home page and I haven't specified line spacing anywhere in the CSS.

Also, some of the main headings on pages do not left align...they are in tables. Sometimes they are centered and sometimes they are just indented a little.

I am trying to fix someone else's work and it's proving to be difficult.

I dont understand the purpose of Browser that behave differently from each other. Couldn't the browser makers just make it result consistently?

This is my code to make my line spacing bigger or padding. I try to do other style changes and it also has the same problems. In Firefox, doing it this way works but in IE, nothing happens.
Code:

h1 {
	font-size: 10px;
	font-weight:bold;
	line-height:50px;
	padding:10px 10px 10px 10px;
}

Code:

h1 {
	font-size: 10px;
	font-weight:bold;
	padding:10px 10px 10px 10px;
}

Then on my web page I put this in on the text I want to customise.
Code:

<h1>Sample Text</h1>

h1 text is inside my little div box.

Am I doing this wrong to achieve what I want?

Maybe I should be posting this as a reply - this is an UPDATE: I used the WC3 Validator and it found an outright error in my code. So, gosh - ignore the posting below! And, uhm, I think I'll be using that handy-dandy WC3 tool more often....

Okay - I am a CSS dope - I've been using tables and antiquated code for a long time. I'm putting together a dummy site, just for testing, and I'm trying to postiion things with DIVs, etc. Be gentle - I'm 59, and, not that damned smart... I installed Dreamweaver and have been fooling with that as it has a lot of templates with proper CSS, tips, etc. But I've never used it before, so that's another learning curve.

So, I have a page on which there are some DIVs and, in one, there is an extra space - and, an extra bottom border line - in Internet Explorer. I'm not fond of IE, but that isn't the point - a lot of people use it.....and I need to know why this is happening.

Here's a link to an image of what it looks like in Explorer - the line at the bottom is absent in Firefox and Chrome:

Screenshot

The page is just the index page at:
GuyMerritt.net

The CSS files looks like this:


Code:

body {
margin: 0 0 0 0;
background: #FEFEEC;
height: 1000px;
background: #F9F9EE;
}
h2 {font-family: tahoma; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 8px; color: #777772;}
#header {height: 220px; background: url(../images/header_graphics.jpg); }
#left-sidebar {
float:left;
width:20%;
padding-left: 20px;
}
#right-sidebar {
float:right;
width:20%;
padding-right: 20px;
}
#main-content {width: 54%;float: left;padding-top: 0px;
}
.sidebars-2 #content {
width: 54%;float: left;padding-top: 10px;
}
#box {
border-style: solid;
border-width: .05em;
font-family: arial; 
color: #777772;
font-size: 13px;
padding-left: 9px;
padding-right: 9px;
}
img.example {
  width: 100%;
  max-width: 250px;
  height: auto;
}
div#slides {
	width: 500px;
	height: 280px;
	overflow: hidden;
}

div#slides div {
	height: 280px;
	width: 500px;
	font-size: 100px;
	line-height: 200px;
	text-align: center;
	color: #fff;
}

ul#ticker {
	height: 1.4em;
	overflow: hidden;
	border: solid 1px #aaa;
	background: #ccc;
}

ul#ticker li {
	padding: 0.2em 0;
}

/* @group global */

p#links {
	padding-top: 50px;
	clear: both;
}

a#avatar {
	position: absolute;
	bottom: 10px;
	right: 10px;
}

a#avatar img {
	border: none;
}

h1 {
	color: #0094d5;
}

a {
	color: #0094d5;
}

a:visited, a:hover {
	color: #00577e;
}

.red {
	background: #e40053;
}

.blue {
	background: #0094d5;
}

.green {
	background: #43aa38;
}

/* @end */

At the rate I'm moving, I'll be dead before I ever figure this stuff all out! If anyone could explain what's causing this I would be very grateful. And why do so many things render differently in Explorer (from Chrome and Firefox)?

Thanks again,

Hi,

I want to show the contents of a textarea as normal text in a preview block with all the text spacing intact.

Name: ABC
Age: 22
Place: World

Somehow the spacing of the text is not displayed as in the textarea. How can this be done.

Thanks

Its been a long time now and I am finnaly getting back into website desiging. I am doing a simple coding but I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to do the following.

I want to create a table but using only divs. So basically I am going to have a parent div acting as the whole table then sub-div acting as each row, and within those divs there will be more divs acting as each cell.

But I can't figure out how to make each cell be right next to each other instead of on the next line. How do I make it look like below:

|<div>| |<div>| |<div>| |<div>|
|<div>| |<div>| |<div>| |<div>|
|<div>| |<div>| |<div>| |<div>|
|<div>| |<div>| |<div>| |<div>|


Also, what CSS properity do I have to use so that the content of each cell will overlap with all th surrounding cells? By overlap I mean so they will be touching each other.

I am presently new at CSS, and I need help with this little problem.

Basically, I am creating a design and on Photoshop I have the following..

jerrytavares[dot]com/phpform/ex1.gif

Then when I convert it into HTML i have this..

jerrytavares[dot]com/phpform/ex2.gif

Now I need help spacing out the checkmark/rss image from the text. What is the best and easiest way to do this with CSS?

Thanks,
Peter

Hey, all. Just wondering if anyone knows of a proper way to get rid of vertical space between text fields in a form. IE seems to like to have 2px in there, where other browsers will give me the desired 0px. For example: Code:

<input type='text' value='test' style='margin:0px; display:block;'>
<input type='text' value='bottom' style='margin:0px; display:block;'>

Gives me 2px of space between the 2 fields, but only in Internet Explorer.. Any thoughts?

My site is displaying properly and in good way to the bullet that i've used in menu in FF. But in IE 7 bullet and text is too close which make menu un attractive. How can i fix this? any suggestion. if you want you can see nepalmedia . com . np

thanks.

Is there a way to decrease a default spacing between bullet and text in <ul>?

Trying to follow "the best practices" I wanted to convert my menu from bunch of <a></a><br> to unordered list. I already display arrows icon next to menu items so I though it would save me some typing on <img>. But there is one problem: I can't decrease the space between bullet and text. There is bullet, around one em of empty space and then text. It breaks my layout, making menu items wrap to another line, and also wastes some space. I tried to play with margins and padding, but bullets still stay at the same place. Also negative margin and padding doesn't seem to work. If I use a background image instead of bullet, I can adjust the spacing but then the bullet position doesn't seem consistent and get cramped on text in longer lines.

Hello, this is my first attempt at a website and first attempt at using CSS as well.

With much reading and the help of an online CSS layout creator I've been able to get pretty far, but have been having many roadblocks recently.


For instance, the second heading in my layout is not displaying correctly in IE, but looks fine in FireFox. Please take a look at

http://www.onlinecasinoboss.com/new_page_1.htm

The second heading should lay directly underneath heading number 1, with a 2px margin in between header 2 and the main page layout.

Also the text in the right, left and center columns starts as if it had a 12px or greater top margin. This problem exists in BOTH IE and FF.

Please help, and thanks for anyone that takes the time to help a newbie web designer out.

I have a few lines of text which have different formatting setups. But there seems to be an extra space between the two lines of text. Why is this?

Here is the css for the text:
Code:

	    h1{
   color:#534741;
   text-decoration : none;
    font : 20px 'lucida sans', 'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', 'trebuchet ms', helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
    text-align:left;
    font-weight: bold;
	padding-left: 18px;
    }

	    h2{
font-size: 16px;
   color:#1133aa;
   text-align:left;
	padding-left: 0px;
	padding-right: 20px;
    }

	    h3{
font-size: 12px;
   color:#534741;
   text-align:left;
	padding-left: 0px;
	padding-right: 20px;
    }

Here is the text itself:
Code:

  <div id="centerformbottom">
  <h1>or call</h1>
  <div id="centerformbottomleft">
  <h2>Janine Todd</h2>
     <h3>312.848.9388  
      <a href="mailto:janine@imaginehealthsolutions.com ">janine@imaginehealthsolutions.com </a></h3>
  
</div><!--centerformbottomleft-->
<div id="centerformbottomright">
     <h2>Bob Brodell</h2>
     <h3>312.659.4242
      <a href="mailto:bob@imaginehealthsolutions.com">bob@imaginehealthsolutions.com</a></h3>
    </div><!--centerformbottomright-->

Thanks!

i am trying to do something like:

<h6>blah</h6><span class="note">*blah</span> but *blah is appearing underneath the h6 which is fair enough but how do i make it appear on the same line? i cant for the life of me think of a css property that lets me do that?

I'm having problems getting my text to show up on the same line. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.



Here is my code:

Code:

<div id="subtitle"><b>What Personal Information Is Collected?</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;<div style="font-size:7px"><a href="#whatinfo">SEE MORE DETAILS</a></div></div>

The "subtitle" CSS is external:

Code:

#subtitle {

font-family:sans-serif, arial, verdana;

font-size:9pt;

background-color:#cccccc;

padding-left:6px;

}

I don't understand why the "SEE MORE DETAILS" link showing up on a second line? I want it at the end of my subtitle.


Thanks for your help in advance.
