in the <body> section, I never use <p> or anything like that...I just put in the content and any <br> I need. It works, but will it work on all browsers? Is <p> (and anything similar) necessary?

View Full Version : necessary tags? Moonlit 09-12-2003, 10:20 PM in the <body> section, I never use <p> or anything like that...I just put in the content and any <br> I need. It works, but will it work on all browsers? Is <p> (and anything similar) necessary? Sugar Rush 09-12-2003, 11:24 PM OK, <p> means basically a new paragraph. If you were to put a <p> between your text, it would do this: TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT The space between the two lines of text is where the <p> would be in your HTML. <br> means line break. It would do this: TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT Get it? So 2 <br> are equal to 1 <p>! I think CSS uses some <p> code too, but I'm not sure what it is exactly ;)... Moonlit 09-13-2003, 12:53 AM Yeah...I know :) I meant, is it necessary to use <p> or something similar? As in...do I have to break down my information into <p>? Can it just be "as is"? Example: <html> <head></head> <body> I like cats.<br> Cats are nice.<br> </body> </html> Sugar Rush 09-13-2003, 12:59 AM Oh! Okay...no, <p> is not necessary and neither is <br>...they just make a site look more organized I think. If you want your text to show up like: I like cats. Cats are nice. You would just write: <html> <head></head> <body> I like cats. Cats are nice. </body> </html> And if you wanted it to be: I like cats. Cats are nice. You would put <br> at the end of cats like you already have :) Moonlit 09-13-2003, 02:38 AM Okay, thanks very much! :) I like your signature about hugs...heh. |
