getting title and content on same line

  • I’ve been working on this for hours. wordpress wraps the content into a <p> tag, so content and title show out on two different lines. I would be able to hack the code in order to strip the tag off, but I’d like to do this working on the theme alone. I tried setting the css float property on the title, like this:
    <div class="post">
    <span style="float: left"><?php the_title()?></span>
    <span><?php the_content() ?></span>
    </div>
    It works, except that (using firefox) the <div> now wants some empty space above and beneath itself, so that the metadata (user, time, etc) is somehow further from the post than I want it to be. (yes, the margin properties are already set to 0).
    putting the metadata inside the <div> screws something up, I don’t know why, and the content will show up on the right of the title but on a different line.

    Last idea I had was to put the_content() inside a comment tag, and start every post with --> (ending it with <!--) so that the <p> tag will be ignored, but this would work only for new posts (old entries would disappear).

    If all this sounds lame, sorry, but I just learnt what I know about html, php and css in one single evening, so I’m not really able to think clear right now ?? Any other ideas?

    does adding the indicated line help ?

    yep. When you start moving mountains to do something really simple there *is* something you’re missing ??
    thanks a lot

    Cool – glad it helped ??

    I don’t think it’s quite what you wanted, but it’s a start. If you get stuck though, do post back.
