It's not a new line, it's a bottom-margin or -padding.
Set it to 0 :-)

Please note that alt.html is not one of the big 8
valid groups, and the help you get there is less
likely to be corect then you might find at
comp.infosystem s.www.authoring.html

Follow Up's set to the only valid group on your
cross-post. c.l.js.

The question has nothing to do with JavaScript. Surely alt.html is more
valid than a newsgroup where the subject mater is off-topic, regardless
of being in the big 8?

Perhaps you mean type='text/css'

Umm. Rather you saying that than me, Andrew. The validity of alt.html's
existence aside, most of the regular posters to ciwah also post in ah.

Out of interest, what's this "big 8" you refer to? I thought it was a
character encoding (or is that Big-5?)

(ehhh, shrugs) Good point, but added to my reasons
for not sending it to alt.html is that
a) I do not read it (or any other than big 8 groups for that matter)
b) My news-reader whines at me when I post to groups not carried by
my local server.

So, ..yes, it's more valid, but the OP can make a new
post (preferebly to the valid HTML group) if they feel
that strongly about it. ;-)

[ Follow-ups, *again* set to c.l.js*, please inform
the readers when you intend to alter the follow-ups
to a specific or different group. ]

* Note that this aspect of the thread no longer has
anything to do with either JS *or* HTML.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story, Mike!
(My excuse/question, apart from the above is.. on which
group do you get a higher S/N ratio?*)

I am afraid I know little more than that the original
groups were defined under 8 categories, (to prevent a
plethora of different naming conventions perhaps?),
and each group went through -some- form of vetting
and approval process (as I understand, it was mostly
votes from potential posters).

* My overall view is that while you might find good advice
in the 'alt' groups, you are also more likely to get long
posts from people claiming that the web-pages they are
viewing are beaming secret messages into their subconscious.

Of course, you know more about the 'alt' groups than I,
so I would be interested to hear your assessment of them.

Thank you. This is sufficient information for ignoring you for some time
until we can check whether you wish to work constructively on Usenet.
If you work by your convenience against newsgroup charters and policies,
we have a good reason to killfile you for _our_ convenience.

I would have sent this friendly note by E-mail only, but you are using an
incorrect From field.

Note followups.

P.S. Your advice on setting display: inline in order to remove "new line"
(i.e. bottom margin) without warning what _other_ effects it has
was rather pointless. Virtually all HTML FAQs contain the proper answer
these days.

Probably ciwah, but the focus is different.

What on Earth gave you that idea?

I don't have much of an opinion on alt.* groups, except that the alt.*
hierarchy seems to be a dumping ground for any random group that someone
can think up and have added. However, as I said above, there is a
difference in purpose between ah and ciwah (which I assume you know, but
I'll state anyway).

The *only* focus of ciwah is authoring for the Web. A recent example of
the implications of that is Matt Kruse's post regarding shading alternate
table rows[1]. This particular "solution" (as Matt described it) provided
functionality for IE only. Whilst it had its merits, the fact that it had
no application for the Web as a whole meant it shouldn't have appeared in
the ciwa.* hierarchy, and Matt was subsequently berated.

ah has no such restrictions. In fact, the ah FAQ
(<URL:http://www.html-faq.com/>) states that questions regarding related
topics such as CGI, stylesheets, and Javascript are as welcome as those on
HTML.

Oddly enough, I just noticed this in the FAQ:

"This group was neither proposed nor discussed on alt.config. If it
had been, the proponent would have first been directed to the alt
creation guidelines where he could learn why the name is so poor.
Then he would have been directed to the comp.infosystem s.www.*
hierarchy, where there are many groups on this topic, including one
specifically devoted to writing HTML."

Seems you're right about the illegitimacy.

Mike

[1] This actually went to ciwas, but the reason for the inappropriate
location was the same.

You read (at least) one of them. Beats me by (at least) 1.

Yeah.. but I suppose that makes precious little difference
to those who post questions, so long as they get their answer.

Then maybe you should stop adding non-relevant comments to the on topic
posts?

Alt groups vary. I read several; they are as good as corresponding Big-
8 groups (except that there's slightly more spam-to-all-groups, easily
ignored).

I don't know news:alt.html at all.

In news:c.i.w.a.*, IMHO, most of the regulars would concentrate on
criticising the original question.
