how to not insert a new line after <dt> in a <dl> ?

[onetitfemme]

I think browsers do it pretty much by default. How can you avoid that?

It just doesn't look right/pretty for short definitions and also how
can you not indent the whole <dd> so that in stead of looking like
this:

<code>
_ _ _ term: def def def def def def ...
_ _ _ _ _ _ def def def def def def ...
</code>

it would look like:

<code>
_ _ _ term: def def def def def def ...
_ def def def def def def def def def ...
</code>

That is it would not indent the whole def to the right passed the term

Thanks

Even better:

dt {font-weight: bolder; display: run-in;}
dd {margin-bottom: 0;}

Which does indeed work in Opera, but doesn't in Internet Exlorer (if you
care about that), but also doesn't seem to work in Firefox1.5 (which is a
bit more worrying).

Again:

time the fourth example.

I think Yucca's proposal is best and it will be the one I will be
using. Browsers out there are very "free" indeed interpreting something
as simple as a the layout of a list (which IMHO shouldn't be much of a
deal).

From the browsers I have access to right now:
._ Gecko/20050911 Firefox/1.0.6 does NOT
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050911
Firefox/1.0.6 (Debian package 1.0.6-5)
..
._ Konqueror 3.4.1 (Using KDE 3.4.1) takes is just find
._ Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111
Firefox/1.5 takes it OK also
..
I still had a question on how to center, as a group, say, three
pictures that have been laid out floating to the left each. Here is a
link to a demo page:

Also Yucca, bro, take it easy. Here, in public on line fora, people's
names are "mingo", "snow_white ", "onetitfemm e" or whatever they feel
like going by. I don't think that it really matters. Thing is that the
immediacy that the Internet gives us is good, I think. I wouldn't know
of any other way to treat you than your screen name and I sincerely
wondered what your qualms where about.

Then why did you float them left?
You could put the images in a div, make the div just wide enough for the
images, and center the div. No floating involved.
