CSS - Space Between Paragraphs
Hello,
I have a table formatted by CSS within which there are two styles of text, headers and content. I have the content formatted using a class (conftabledetail), with the statement: .conftabledetail {font-size:10px;} I did that to make the content more compact and distinguishable from the headers. I would like to force a space between the paragraphs of content without using a <br> tag. I read that there is an "adjacent selector" which can be used to locate adjacent tags and apply a style, for example p + p {margin-top:1em;}, which would put a 1em space between adjacent paragraphs. Apparently this selector does not work when used against a subclass, because I can't get this statement to work: p + p.conftabledetail {margin-top:1em;} I CAN get this statement to work: p.conftabledetail {margin-top:1em;} But that's not what I want to do. Anyone have any ideas as to what I need to change or do differently? It would also be nice to do this with a <div> tag so I don't have to repeat the class identifier on every <p> tag... Thanks, Chris Similar TutorialsWhat is the correct way to remove the space between paragraphs? I have p { margin-top: -12px; } but IE/Win appears to be clipping the top of the topmost paragraph containers. What is the most compatible way to do this? I'm experimenting using css, on the page http://www.philmorris.biz/view.php?id=3278941167 The problem I have is the way that each line on the description has its own highlight- something that I've only experienced with css One thing I've noticed is that each line of the description is it's own paragraph, however since the description is pulled straight from eBay, there's not much I can do about that. Are there any obvious things I'm not thinking of? Thanks I have a bunch of text with nice formatting using paragraphs and I want to have a spacing between the paragraphs. I could easily do that by: Code: p { margin-bottom: 25px; }
But that will make it so the last paragraph to also have a margin like that, how can I make it so that the last paragraph have a bottom margin of 0? Just the last one in that bunch of text. Now that, this is dynamic content generated by WordPress. WordPress text is place using paragraphs but the last paragraph on each post also has a margin that shouldn't be there, or my current design of course. Is there a way around this? Hi all, I'm trying to use CSS to apply style to ONLY images that are within paragraphs on my site. Code: <p> <img ... /> </p> In the past, some time ago, I thought I learned that "p img {...}" would accomplish what I'm trying to to. However, it applies the style to all images, not just images within paragraphs... Any one know any other methods? I have a couple hundred images already coded in, so just simply applying a class to the previous images isn't something I'd like to do. Thanks much, dbeg. This site is entirely CSS built and is database driven so it is completely dependent on classes and Id's. I have a conflict with <H5> in this page/site template I'm trying to edit. H5 is used for the title in the header and needs to be white. As you can see by the example of the my news section it looks just as I want it (H5 is the bigger bolder text that starts each paragraph) MyNews.jpg Code: <div class="bodyNews"> <h4>My News</h4> <h6> <h5>News 1</h5> Content ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. </h6> <h6> <h5>News 2</h5> Content ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. </h6> <h6> <h5>News 3</h5> Content ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. </h6> </div> And here's the CSS: Code: div.myNews {}
h4 {
font: 15px Georgia,serif;
font-weight: normal;
color: #6b3616;
text-transform: uppercase;
display: block;
margin: 25px 0 2px 0;
}
h5 {
font: 14px Georgia,serif;
font-weight: normal;
color: #6b3616;
margin-right: 4px;
display: inline;
}
h6 {
font: 11px/14px Verdana,sans-serif;
color: #3d412d;
margin: 10px 4px 2px 0;
}
So the problem is the H5 though it looks fine in this news part it messes with the header H5 and I can't change the class there... There must be another way to do this... Can anyone offer an alternative? See the site he Template M i have a div that has a background img. when i have p's within this div the background img only shows up if theres a line of text there. i specified the height: 277px to fix this (if theres a better way, pls let me know). and tried to put overflow:visible within p's but its still clipping. any ideas? containing div: Code: #content .col {
width: 303px;
height: 277px;
background: url(../images/one_third_box_top.png) no-repeat;
float: left;
}
p: Code: #content p, ul {
padding: 0 25px 0 30px;
line-height: 1.5em;
overflow: visible;
}
edit: this problem is in mozilla, but not in IE... weird. theres also one minor thing on a totally different subject. paths.. my paths a Code: /pub /css main.css /images foo.jpg foo2.jpg index.html obviously i have a link to the main.css in the index file but when i try to use url(images/foo.jpg), foo.jpg wont load? the path looks right unless im missing something... instead i have to url(../images/foo.jpg) for it to work... i always thought the '../' meant parent directory of the file (which is index.html since its linked from it)... right? thanks in advance. Hi! Should I do this? p { margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 2em; } or this: p { margin-bottom: 2em; } Same question for headers (h1, h2, etc) Thanks! In the following code...why is there a space between the two div's?? Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style>
#header { background-color: cadetblue; }
#footer { background: blue; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<p>This is my header.</p>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<p>This is my footer.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
If I remove the <p></p>'s from each sentence the spacing disappears. If I add a "border: 1px solid black;" to each style the spacing disappears. I don't want to know how to make it go away. I want to know why it's there? I mean shouldn't the paragraphs be fully enclosed inside the div's? Such that no spacing should appear between the div's? Any insight anyone might care to share with me would be most appreciated. Thanks. Carlos I've been trying to get all the space out of IE, tried line-height and all of that, and nothing. Any hack to take out all of the space gaps so I can later on put some small margin? Thanks in advance I'm working on a web site that has a jFlow slideshow (not implemented just yet) and I was mocking up a page with just a plain img in its place. When the page is viewed in FF 3.5, there is extra space to the right and bottom of the image. However, it shows as expected in IE8. I can't figure this out for the life of me. If I "use border box model" from the Google Web Developer toolbar in FF, it shows as desired as well. Here's a link to the file: http://www.websimage.com/3238/index2.html I've been trying to figure this out for a while now and I'm getting nowhere but frustrated, so any help you could provide would be *greatly* appreciated. EDIT: I've found some information regarding box-models, and have applied the -moz-box-model: border-box; which seems to have eliminated the additional space within the gray div...however, there is an additional 10px of unwanted padding on the right & left of it now. I can live with this, but I don't want to if I don't have to. Edit #2: If I take out the margin-left: auto; and margin-right: auto; (to center it) the extraneous padding is not on the left, but is added to the extraneous padding on the right. All the math adds up when it comes to the widths and padding specified for the respective "wrappers" so I'm at a loss as to what's causing this. I'm having problems with a web page not viewing correctly in IE7. Here is a link to the page: test(dot)phoenixit(dot)com(dot)au/GBDGP/index(dot)asp The left and right columns should be level (top) with the centre content area. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys! My website looks quite good, except for the footer when viewed on IE 6, 7, and 8. The problem is that the footer doesn't go all the way down to the bottom of page, rather leaving a space of about 5 pixels vertically so it doesn't look good. How do I get the footer to go and stay all the way down the page in IE? The footer is only within the <body> div, which has the property: margin: 0. The footer div has the following properties set: .footer { background:#6CBDF0; clear: both; height:45px; padding-top:5px; } So is there any way I could make changes to these elements so that the footer wouldn't leave that annoying white space below it? Thank you very much! PS. I've tried solving this for well over an hour now... Im trying to change the background color of my news posts for the main page. What I want is to have every second post a darker grey than the one before. In my css file I've added the following lines to accomplish this. Sectiontable1 and 2 beeing the different posts. Code: .sectiontableentry, .sectiontableentry0 { padding: 5px; } .sectiontableentry1 { border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 5px; background-color: #ffffff; } .sectiontableentry2 { border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 5px; background-color: #f6f6f6; } The php code look like this(see below) when inspecting it in the browser and I can cleary see that there is a blank space in between the class name and the number. But the problem is I have no clue how I can write that space in css. Cause if I just add a blank space in the css it thinks its another class or rather a standard tag like h1 and it doesnt work. Is there some way to write a space like that in css? Code: <span class=contentpane> <div class=sectiontableentry 1></div> <div class=sectiontableentry 2></div> <div class=sectiontableentry 1></div> /* see there is a space between sectiontableentry and 1*/ </span> I have a couple of divs at the very top of my page spanning the width of the page. In IE-8 the page is displayed as I would like, with no spacing at the top margin above the first div. In FF, there is a giant space about 50 px high. I need to get rid of this space. Below is my css for the top-most div, body, and the html... any ideas? Code:
body {
margin-top: 0px;
font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica;
font-size: 12px;
}
div#top {
margin-top: 0px;
float: left;
background-image: url(../img/logo.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 100%;
height: 42px;
}
<div id="top"></div>
<div style="margin-bottom:40px">
<script type="text/javascript">javascript menu code</script>
</div>
At some point, something I did caused my website to have around 400 pixels of white space above it. My site is very simple but I can't seem to figure out the cause. I'm hoping someone can take a look and figure it out. Thanks for any help, Chris HTML CODE: http://www.bottomtimedesign.com CSS CODE: Code:

Do ids take up space on a page if there is no content within them and no size specified for them, what about classes, paragraphs? Something like so: Code: <div id="one"></div> or <div class="two></div> <p></p> <p class ="three"></p> etc... In other words, would there be a obvious space where one of these styling markers was placed on the page? Ok guys, I'm hoping someone can help me. I am a complete newbie to CSS and web site construction in general. I have a left vertical navigation bar made up of graphics in a div tag that is set to float on the left. I'm having difficulty with the graphics, they have white spaces in between them when viewed in IE. They are supposed to butt up against one another. I have tried setting the margin and padding in that div to 0. I have also seen in other forums where the <li> tag can be placed on the previous line to fix this problem in IE. I haven't even viewed the page on any other browsers yet, can someone help me please? Thanks so much! vonatah If you go to the following http://curley-construction.com/cc/ in IE6, you'll notice a break in the footer. I cannot for the life of me figure out why its being added in IE6, but not IE7 or FF....
