I have a site that is having a strange issue in Opera. For some
reason my paragraphs seem to have some strange left hand margin thing
going off.

I can't think of any reason for it as I have no real styling on the p
tags except for this:

p{
margin: 1em 0;
padding: 0;
line-height: 1.5em;
}

Page is at http://004.e-connected.com/

If anyone can't help me identify this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Rick

How about you helping us to identify it? What is it you are
meaning? In my Opera, all looks fine and lovely enough?

What are you, a masochist? Well, here's hoping this *doesn't* help...


I'm getting weirdnesses in both Opera and FF, but maybe my question
below and a bit of voodoo magic will make them go away ;-)

Do you really mean to have, say, 135px instead of 335px in
#middle { padding: 0 335px 0 60px; }?

You'll want to validate your source and CSS, too.

Not weird on Opera 8.51 on a Mac, nor FF 2.0.0.2 on Mac?

but maybe my question

Not that there is nothing wrong...

It was Opera 9 and Windows XP.

I corrected the few CSS issues and that fixed the bug.

I actually tracked it down to the fact that I was including a CSS file
that didn't actually exist. No idea why that would cause the margin
issue on paragraphs but I have tested it and can replicate the issue
by including a non-existent style sheet.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I don't have an Opera to hand I'm afraid


But this:

line-height: 1.5em;

concerns me on a rough initial template for a page that claims to be
"acccessible"

Why not just use line-height: 1.5; if you want some extra spacing?

ooh, (if you have the time/inclination) could you explain further why using
em for line-height is bad in regards to accesibility? tia as they say.

Yu could look at

Try:

p.big {font-size: 200%; line-height: 1.2em}
p.small {font-size: 80%; line-height: 1.2em}

Why? Do you not know the purpose of me posting this to help OP?
