This is what I want to see in the footer of my pages:
   LOCATION:    blah blah blah
   MAIL TO:    blah blah blah
   PHONE:    blah blah blah

It seems to call for a definition list but I can't find a sensible way to get each pair of list items on its own line. If I make the <dt>s and <dd>s display:inline it all ends up on one line (until it wraps). If I make just the <dt>s display:block, every element is on its own line. Using a separate <dl> for each inline <dt> & <dd> works, but that seems silly. Isn't there a better way?

Right now I've got them set to display:inline with a <br /> after each <dd>. It looks fine but the html won't validate because of the line breaks.

I could use an unordered list, but then I'll need &nbsp's after each colon to get the spacing that I want. Using a definition list allows me to add a margin or padding and seems more correct, semantically.

Also...I'd really appreciate anyone with a Mac and IE5 on a PC checking this site for any scary stuff. The homepage is http://www.blinn.edu/sbdc.
