html breaks not working any more?

Where can we see the website in question?

Madrasa Application – Eldon Street Madrasa-E-Talimul Islam (myesm.co.uk)

https://www.myesm.co.uk/madrasa-application (just in case the link above does not work!)

At the bottom of the page there is a long contact form (it’s a long form !) .

We used <br> in the form to space the sections so there was a line break between the titled sections so before “Parents/Guardians Details” and “Who Is Responsible For Paying The Fees” etc. there would be a blank line to make the sections easier to separate out.

Now it all just bunches up. Same as the <hr> line. This no longer has a blank line before it because the <br> seems to be ignored.

Thanks for the reply by the way. As you can probably see I am just a volunteer trying to help with limited website design knowledge and using simple html mostly.

You seem to misuse <br>. It only inserts a line break, you can’t use it to make vertical space. <br> makes no sense there because you have <h3> just after it.

If you want to make vertical space, simply use CSS.

Ahh! ok! I will look into how to create a space using CSS.

This will be new to me but thank you for the explanation.
