Everywhere I have used <h#> ... </h#>, with or without a class=.. I get an
effective double line break, with or without CSS.

What I want to do is to switch text colors, size, and positioning (left,
center, right) and keep the text on the same line (unless I put in a <br>
intentionally).

Sometimes I want to do something like this:

Left text centered text right text.

on one line, and have them maintain their relative positions regardless of
screen or window sizes without using manual positioning.

So far, the only way I've found for reliable positioning is with tables (3
wide for the above) and the only way to change color or other adjustments is
to make adjustments in line with the text.

Why bother with a separate CSS file when you have to do the much of the
styling embedded in the HTML? And how do you easily maintain it over the
entire site with constant local adjustments?

What I've used to get around this problem is to import a javascript file
with several defined JS routines writing out HTML with styling embedded.
Not anywhere near as clean and easy as CSS, but I can at least adjust the
entire site by changing one location.

Thanks, John

'double line break'??
Do you mean a large margin on the bottom?

It sounds to me that you have some
fundamental misunderstandings of
css, but it is hard to assess further
without an URL.

I use <br> only when I am really lazy,
it is generally better to declare the previous
item as display: block (with some possible
adjustments according to exact need)

...hmmm. So if I make my UA thinner
than you determine I should be looking at
your site, I am going to have to scroll
sideways? Uggh! I'm outta' there!

css can do pretty much everything that I
believe you were alluding it could not,
if used properly.

Post an URL and have it decimated by
the experts. Painful, but valuable.
