Simple but so annoying

Hey guys

I know there is probably a simple answer to this question,

How do I get two paragraphs on the same line?

e.g HelloHello

Ive nearly completed my first site in css but this one simple thing i is really annoying

.

Thank for any help

Sean

On the same line or positioned next to each other in their own invisible boxes???

If you just want the two hello's next to each other then wrap them in the same tags. If you want them alongside each other in their own little space then wrap them in seperate <div> tags and just float them alongside each other just like you do with the main layout.

There may be another way but that's probably how I'd do it.

If you want more info just ask.

Pete.

if you do what your saying then your going to get ...
hello

hello

Their going to have to be in the same tag without the paragraph. why you would want to do that is beyond me but it what you want.

There's no reason what-so-ever why you'd need to achieve this using two paragraphs but I won't go into that...

Just use: style="display:inline"

ie.:
HelloHello

But really, you should use a span, or do this:
Hello Hello

The hello may just be an example and there may be more content. There maybe some reason that we aren't understanding. But there may not. I agree though - there's no practical reason to display text like this.

You could simulate columns with a styled list. Too bad CSS3 support is scarce as CSS3 has a multi-column module.. grrr.

Not sure if you've figured it out yet but ... here's some code

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-CA" xml:lang="EN-CA">

<head>
    <title>Some title</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
    <style type="text/css">
    #wrap {
        width: 500px;
    }
    
    .fleft {
        float: left;
        width: 200px;
    }
    
    .fright {
        float: right;
        width: 200px;
    }
    </style>
    
</head>

<body>
<div id="wrap">
    <span class="fleft">Hello</span>
    <span class="fright">Hello</span>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Sorry , totally my fault for not explaining properly.

"Hello" was just an example, The same problem also happens when I want to add a text link next to a paragraph.

Better example ........ "Click here to open up a new window" but on the same line.

The coding below is what I use at the moment

<a class="one" href="sample.htm">click here</a>to open up a new window

but it displays the link and the paragraph on separate lines.

Sorry for wasting you time and thank you for all of your help.

we're all saying it makes no sense because you could simply do this:
<a class="one" href="sample.htm">click here</a> to open up a new window
In fact, your suggestion isn't proper markup.

but anyway, you can do this:
<a class="one" href="sample.htm">click here</a>to open up a new window
Who am I to judge eh?

Put the link within the paragraph tags as spinal007 said don't put them outside it's pointless.
