CSS and Line Breaks
Question:
Hi my wiser colleagues -
Does anyone know -- is there a way to specify a
linebreak using CSS and not a <br>?
In all of the web sites that use CSS for positioning,
rather than tables, and have a sidebar, you find the
sidebar at the bottom (hopefully) all stacked up as if
it were still a sidebar.
My goal is to have, in CSS enabled browsers, a
non-tabled sidebar, and in earlier browsers, a line of
links. I don't care how it aligns, I just don't want a
vertical line of lines. Is there a hack? Can anyone
help?
I am not sure what your asking in the last two
paragraphs. To have a BR in CSS is to use a < .div>
which is a block level element and <.span> is an
inline element. Don't mean to confuse you, but block
level defines divisions like multiple Paragraphs.
Span is simple it allows you to change a word or
something in a sentence without a br.
Could this be what you're looking for?
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.menu span {display: block;}
-->
</style>
and
<div class="menu">
<span><a href="menu1.html">Menu1</a></span>
<span><a href="menu2.html">Menu2</a></span>
<span><a href="menu3.html">Menu3</a></span>
<span><a href="menu4.html">Menu4</a></span>
</div>
Thank you! [someone], that was totally the answer,
thank you so much! And [someone else], sorry I wasn't
more clear -- this wasn't a question about blocklevel
elements. I've posted a mockup of this tableless
layout at
http://www.wise-women.org/resources/listarchives/css03/mytest.html,
including [someone's] CSS.
