<p> question

[Moydock]

Every time I use <p></p> to go to the next line it creates a big gap between
the elements. I can get them to show together in dreamweaver if I remove it but
then when I test in a browser it shows them all on the same line. Anyone know
what's up?

What you are seeing the normal, default margins (top and bottom) for the <p>
tags. You can use CSS to change this easily -

p { margin-top:2px; margin-bottom:2px; }

It would be a good idea for you to read about CSS and how to use it to help
your page layout techniques. You can start with these excellent tutorials -

Try using <b></b> (line break) instead of paragraph

<b> is bold. <br> is linebreak. Neither are optimal for this purpose 8).

Using CSS to control the paragraph margins allows the text to continue to
flow left to right, since it is still within a paragraph.
