How do I size a linespace in css?

Don't know much about css. I have a <br /> that's taking too much space. What's the easiest way inline to make a linespace and be able to say how many pixels high I want it so I can fool around until I am happy with the spacing?

 

Surround each paragraph with a <p> or <div> and set the bottom padding/margin on them. Don't put a <br /> in between.

 

Uh, thanks but can you be more specific? Like <div XXXX:3px>what here?</div>

Oh, you mean put the paragraph that needs the space inside a <p>? So it would be <p xxx:3px>stuff</p>?
What does the xxx: wording look like?

 

Sure.. more specifically:

<div style="padding-bottom:6px;">
First paragraph goes here.
</div>

<div style="padding-bottom:6px;">
Second paragraph goes here.
</div>


The proper way to do it would be to give each div the same class name like

<div class="spaced">

and then in your external .css file

.spaced
{
padding-bottom:6px;
}

 

You're a lifesaver!
