No problem, you can catch me on the next one.

You're not just whistling Dixie!

man, the problems caused by missing quotes and semi-colons!

Disaster-Master: using

just to indent, is. Using weird workarounds is really damaging to the content, especially for the future. You don't want all your hard work to fall to ruins because of a browser upgrade, right? We've seen that happen on the web a few times already (Netscape 6 anyone?).

That's why coding to standards is so important -- the future!

I have oodles of strange workarounds in my code from the past, and really need to edit a LOT of work, but fortunately have always been a lazy coder -- if it didn't work everywhere, I was liable to just ditch it altogether.

also if you want quotes in your text, use ", dont use " it can cause problems, and if you missed a quote in a previous tag, the quote you add can be seen as the missing one and then all goes to ruins from there.

Ack, no! Don't hack code, please. You'll end up with a mess later.

& n b s p ; (the ampersand is vital -- remove the spaces) shouldn't remove anything. Check your syntax, you may be missing some code somewhere else.

You can also use CSS, though it only works in higher browsers.

p { text-indent; .5em; }

Do you have a sample url?

Alternatively, you could create a transparent spacer.gif, and set that to the width you want the indent to be.

Good luck,

Brian
