<br> tag not putting spaces between paragraphs…

actually think ive found a work around.

<br /> doesnt make any spaces between paragraphs on my page.

but

<div>&nbsp;</div>

does!! yippee ??

hope that helps someone else..

A single <br /> just moves you to the next line, you need two if you wish to simulate a line space..

ie.

<br /><br />

Hi t31os.. as mention above I have already tried multiple break tags.. but this doesnt work ?? the only thing that seems to produce spaces between my paragraphs is the div trick.

Having said that.. my style.css isnt effecting my copy layout either. For example if I change the style of my <h2> tags the display of my <h2>tags does not change.

style.css is working for the layout of my menu, its just not having any effect on my copy layout.. any ideas? (I have tried a forced refresh)

Im using paino_black, and WP is in the root of my site.. this is the second web site I am now running WP on. And I had the same issues with the <br /> tag not working on that web site either (and it was a different theme).

Any pointers much appreciated!

It is a static site..

I see if I can get my page to display my .css then I might be able to get spaces between paragraphs with this method too.

p {
margin-bottom:4px;
}

are we supposed to only style inline for the copy on our pages?

All fixed. I see that all of my copy is controlled by the “post” prefix eg

.post h2 { margin:0 0 4px 0; padding:0; line-height:100%;  }
.post h2 a, .post h2 a:visited, #single h2 { color:#ccc; font-size:16px; line-height:120%; font-weight:normal; }
.post h2 a:hover { text-decoration:none; color:#83bac4; }

and the <p> tag has been controlling the space between paragraphs with the 4px margin.

Good work, that would have been my guess to(other CSS defs).. ??
