    Paragraph Tag Question

    I know this is a really simple question but I am displaying contact information and i have the Company name and then some spaces and their phone number. When i view the page in the browser the space between the company name and number are gone and everything is run together.

    Code:
    <p>Company Name                       555-555-5555</P>
    Is what i want to show up but for some reason it is taking out the spaces. Any ideas?

      Multiple spaces are reduced to just one space. When you want them to display you can specify a 'non-breaking-space' for each blank space you want to show.
      &nbsp; is the entity used to represent a non-breaking space.

      So when you want to display the text 'X 2spaces Y 3spaces Z' you code this as
      Code:
      X&nbsp;&nbsp;Y&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Z

                  It is table like data so you could simply put it all in a table, but if that isn't what you're looking for then simply put the text you want pushed over in a span and give it a few margins.

                  Thanks, Death

                      Death's right about using tables if you have more than one listing. The span idea is good, too, if you can list the phone number first.
