Desperate for help!

Hello there, I am new to web design, I work for a company, and I am making a web site for a project. I need help on two things, I think the first is called 'white space', I have created two different coloured boxes, one underneath the other, but they have a space inbtween each other, at the top and bottom of the page, i dont want this, second is style sheet, i dont know how to make one and im jus writing so much code for everyline of content I enter. Please help. Many Thanks

stylesheets are made by typing style information, e.g:
and saving it as, stylsheetname.css
this can be included into the HTML page externally:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css" />
replace stylesheet.css with the name you saved it as.
as the the space,
if you follow what I've just said, include this code at the top:
Sorry if that isn't clear (or it's patronizing!)

Probably need to see code to help you rid of the spaces.

thanks alexgeek, i have got rid of the white spaces, and made the style sheet, but where do i put the link in, and also I have tried to delete the rest of the test that says about the font and so on, and it doesnt work once i have deleted it.
thanks

try using tihs:

&nbsp;

eg.<font color=#123456>my text &nbsp; and another text</font>

no, that does not seam to work, i just need it to be a few lines down form the rest of the text.

Wrap your first bit of text in between <p></p>

Then in the css give your p a margin-bottom: 20px;

Code: Select all

<p>My test goes here but I really want some space between my paragraphs.</p>

<p>Ok.. so give your paragraph tags a bottom margin and it will look great!</p>

css

Code: Select all

p {
margin-bottom: 20px;

YES you are a star, thats j1rd3ry! am very greatfull!

ur welcome..its my pleasure.try using some html editor (eg.DW)..it will make ur work easier

what do you mean by (e.g.DW) I am a complete amature when it comes to this. Also do i have to write
<br>
</br>
<br>
</br>
continuosly to get the amount of space I want?

oh yh sorry, I am using DeamWeaver,its the company software, I am just trying to get to grips with it all and understand the code

:d

Oh dear! Please do not use an insane amount of <br> just to get some space.

You should be setting the margin and padding of your <p> instead in your stylesheet.

I strongly recommend going to HTMLDog and go over some tutorials.

As for DW = Dreamweaver ... I would not recommend it to a beginner. We have a great list of HTML Editors that we have complied from various members. Using Crimson Editor or Notepad++ is highly recommended.

Learn to hand-code. Learn HTLM and CSS.

That's terrible advice.. I'm sorry...
That is NOT how you add spaces to a design. Certainly it works but it is not clean.

Please if you are going to learn this, take my advice above and do it correctly.

ok...im sori...my fault... but i also add the tag <p></p>....sori again....
