Re: [WSG] Noobie: Padding-top, padding-bottom
You better read up on CSS.
Then in the HTML documents put a class=whitesome text/a
.white{color:#00;font-size:100%;line-height:100%;}
.red{color:#FF0066;font-size:100%;line-height:100%;}
.black{color:#00;font-size:100%;line-height:100%;}
.yellow{color:#00;font-size:100%;line-height:100%;}
.green{color:#006633;font-size:100%;line-height:100%;}
.blue{color:#FF;font-size:100%;line-height:100%;}

specially styled text?

Hi All,
I'm thinking this should be a quick one because I'm pretty useless
with CSS...
I know this will sound strange, but I don't have control over the
whole HTML/CSS of the page.
What I do have is control over a piece of text that is displayed
which I want there to be some padding around so I did this:
font style=padding: 20pxHello World/font
But it only pushes the text to the left and doesn't add space to the
top or the bottom. This:
font style=padding-bottom: 20pxHello World/font
does nothing unfortunately.
Am I using this totally the wrong way? (probably!) Can I use
something else to fudge the same result?
P.S. Tested in FF and IE.
Thanks in advance,
Doug

Any inline element that allows me to format a piece of text? While span is technically possible, in my opinion its not very semantic in this situation? Is there anything just for specially styled text? My personal feeling on this is that span is exactly the right element to use, precisely because it has no semantic value. If you're just wanting to change the look of some text in the middle of a paragraph for aesthetic reasons, then there's no semantic information that you need to impart and people who are not viewing your page with all the pretties available (either because they're using a screen reader, a text browser, or are not using your style sheet) are not going to be losing anything of value to them. If, on the other hand, you are changing the look of the text because it's needing some sort of emphasis for more than just purely visual reasons, then I would put it in either strong or em tags and style them. That way, users in the above-mentioned situations still won't get your pretties but will at least get an indication of some sort that those words are standing out from the ones surrounding them.

Re: [WSG] Noobie: Padding-top, padding-bottom
It would depend what the text is. If it's a paragraph, use p, if it's a heading use hx. There's no one single tag which can be used in all situations.

My goodness, what is all that? Can you explain? Is this for real? Why
would anyone not just do:
a { font-size:100%; line-height:1.0 }
.white { color:#00; }
(and did you know that font-size100% is usually the default, and
line-height 1.0 does not readable text make... [most browsers default
at 1.2])
etc...

But applying padding to an inline element doesn't affect the line-box(es). Margin-top and margin-bottom have no effect on inline, non-replaced elements.
