Hmmm, didn't do it on purpose - it was quick-n-dirty demo mode code. My first guess was that <p/> only gives a paragraph break before, but not after. But margin persists when line wraps, which means <p>, or at least style, is still open.

However, I have a question about another aspect of your code. I see you self closed the paragraph tag. It has the desired affect of creating a margin for your links. However, it baffles the daylights out of me how tags after a self closing tag would be affected by it. It appears to me as though the paragraph tag is being left open even though you have self closed it (try putting a background color on the paragraph tag. <p style="margin-left:60px;"/> <a href="t11.cfm?currentSlide=#prevSlide#"><PREV</a> <a href="t11.cfm?currentSlide=#nextSlide#">NEXT></a> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:238557 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
