CSS - Errr...line Spacing?

I'm not that familiar with css yet...so this might be a stupid question.
I'm creating this website for my department. on the index page, there are several lists of links. between the links there is line spacing. but some link name is too long it got wrapped under. the wrapped under text also have line spacing. this makes the viewer feels that there are 2 links instead of one. how can i make the wrapped under text go right under without the line spacing?
here is the link if you wanna see how it looks like now.
http://www.scienceevents.uwaterloo.ca/

for example under the first left hand side menu, international year of astronmy is one link. but it looks like 2 links. how can i make them move together?

this is the css for the primary nav
Code:

#primary_navigation { 
	background:url(../images/primary_navigation_bg.jpg) no-repeat; /* This controls the background image on the home page. */
	width:960px;
	height:200px;
	margin-top:20px;
	font-size:0.75em;
	clear:both;
}

#primary_navigation ul {
	list-style:none;
	margin-left:-20px;
	height:110px;
}

#primary_navigation ul li {
	line-height:2.0em;
	margin-right:5px;
}

Is it possible to adjust the line spacing in text using CSS because pressing return in text, the spacing is either too big or too small. I want control of line spacing so that I can have text and paragraph control like I do with Word documents.
eg.
A
B
I want the distance from A to B to be either greater or smaller.

Can you also control the space between letters?
eg.
AB
I want the spacing between A to B further or closer.

Is this all possible on a HTML page without having to use images for text or using tables to seperate each text line on a table to create different line spacing.

If I have a couple of paragraphs of text and would like to adjust the space when you press return to start a new paragraph, how would I add it to my styles code below. Right now, a hard and soft return is too big and I would like the spacing to be about half the font size of the text.

How would I add it to my stylesheet code in this example: Code:

.bodytext {
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 12px;
	color: #000000;
	text-decoration: none;
	text-align:right;
	font-weight: none;
	background-color: #ffffff;
        line-height:1.5;
        letter-spacing:-0.02em;
}

Greetings,

I am relatively new to CSS and am using background image bullets. Problem is, in the case of a two line link, the bullet aligns in between the two lines and I need it to align to the top line. Below is the CSS, and attached is a screenshot of the link to better illustrate my predicament. Thanks for any help!

li
{
list-style-type: none;
background: url(../images/bullet.gif) no-repeat left;
padding: 0 0 0 10px;
}

Greetings,

I have a class called "header" and I am trying to give it a touch of extra space between it and the next line.

All of my headers are just a few words and thus on one line. I tried placing "line-height: 1.5em" in my "header" class and it shows up correctly in Dreamweaver but not in IE. My thought is, because it is only a single line, that class value does not kick in because there is no second line for that class.

Is there a way to conrol this in CSS or am I going to have to resort to using a....gulp.....spacer?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, we have created the following list menu and we want to reduce the space between the left hand page margin, and the disc, at the 1st part of the text closer.

Example: This is what we see now.

| Text Here

Example: This is what we would like to see.

| Text Here

Any suggestions?

ul a, li a{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

I have a drop down menu that works great in Chrome but in IE 9 I am getting spaces between my images for my navigation bar. My HTML is as follows...

Code:

<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="#"><img src="../../images/global/header/home_btn.jpg" width="77" height="29" border="0" /></a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#" style="color:#000;">About Asthma</a></li>

<li><a href="#" style="color:#000;">Taking Control</a></li>
<li><a href="#" style="color:#000;">Lifestyle</a></li>
<li><a href="#" style="color:#000;">Resources & Support</a></li>
</ul></li>
<li><img src="../../images/global/header/spacer01.jpg" width="17" height="29" border="0" /></li>
<li><a href="#"><img src="../../images/global/header/kids_btn.jpg" width="66" height="29" border="0" /></a></li>

</ul></li></ul>

I have tried everything in my CSS to eliminate the spacing between the image files with no luck. Does anyone see what I am doing wrong here?

This is starting to bug me this problem, but on my site www.readinginfo.co.uk the background image (inner shadow and small gradient) at the top is playing up. It doesn't seem to want to align all the way over to the left, however as is always the way, it is working in firefox, ie7, 8 and safari. I've tried some of the ie6 fixes mentioned but I have the sneakiest of feelings that it is to do with the form element (the search box), positioning absolutely just bumps it over to the side. Thanks in advance for any reply!!

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

The contents in my .ContentContainer are positioned differently in IE6 and FF. I want them to look like FF. What is wrong with my CSS that makes IE6 have more space on the left side of the green globe than FF?

My goal is to have the 2 blue vertical lines line up. They line up in FF and IE7, but not in IE6.

Hi Guys

I am having trouble trying to work out a bug that is creating a space between two div containers. To see what i mean click here for web page the css can be viewed here

in firefox the two containers appear correctly but in internet explorer there is a 10px space between them.

Could it have something to do with the background images? The div containing the login form also drops down in ie and i am convinced this is related to the main problem i am facing.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello All,

I wanted to ask a question. I'm having trouble with spacing between two divs. Here's the site I'm working on: johnraymondonline.com/mjbfoundation/

The problem is that I'm trying to put a 20pixel margin between the bottom footer div (that contains "test test") and the div just above it. I'm not having much luck at all. I've done a clear and also have checked the divs several times to see if I've missed any. I've even put a div between with some height and that doesn't work. I'm not sure if one of the div's above it has a fixed height.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

This is my first time ever working with CSS. I am trying to put together a site; however, I am havings some setbacks straight out of the gate. I am trying to get the navigation bar to align up against the header. How do I eliminate the spacing between the header and the navigation bar? I have tried the padding: 0; method with no luck. PLEASE HELP!

I'm having a problem with my content div positioning in IE 6 only. The best way to show my issue would be to show you a screenshot of the issue with both IE 6 and IE 7 (see attached) IE6 is on the left and IE7 on the right.

index.php
Code:

<div id="main">    
    <div id="content">
        <div class="leftColumn">
            <?php include_once "includes/inc_leftColumn.php"; ?>
        </div>
        <div class="rightColumn">
                <?php include_once "includes/inc_rightColumn.php"; ?>
        </div>
        <div class="middleColumn">
            <?php include_once "includes/inc_index_page.php"; ?>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div id="footer">
        <?php include_once "includes/inc_footer.php"; ?>
    </div>
</div>

Hello,

What is the best way to adjust the vertical spacing between bullets? I tried inserting a br tag inbetween the li tags, but that isn't "valid" XHTML. So for now I'm using the margin-bottom property...

Code:

li {
	margin-bottom:20px;
}

Any suggestions?
