How to create spaces between words or objects

55 New Member
Is there any way of creating spaces between words or objects (i.e. input fields or buttons) other than using the   command in HTML? It would be great if you could specify the spacing between text/objects using a value?

For example see below:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <html>
  2. <body>
  3.  
  4. Please enter your name:&bsp&bsp&bsp
  5. <input type="text" id="bname" name="bname" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
  6. <input type="button" value="Back"/>
  7.  
  8. </body>
  9. </html>

sure. you can add space between objects by using CSS (e.g. margin, padding)

If you wanted to create 5 spaces between the below words, how would you do it? I would love an example using CSS.

Also what is the difference between margin and padding?

see Box Model. basically, margin is outside of the element and padding inside (which in the standard box model counts for the element width)

one possibility:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. input + input {
  2.     margin-left: 2.5em; /* may be larger for monospace fonts */
  3. }

Letters appear too close together in sans serif default font when displayed in a JTextComponent. I see that there is a field called advance in one of the classes in java.awt.font, which is described as controlling letter spacing (or tracking), but it is extremely unclear how this field can be set or how it then can be made to affect a JTextComponent. Ideally it seems as if there should be a way to call some method in the relevant Font...

I'm testing a GUI app on a couple Linux boxen and one Win2k box. I'm using Java 1.4.2 on each (or the closest on Win2k -- whatever version comes close). On one Linux box and the Win2k box the line spacing is very close (for example, when I use HTML in JLabels, or even in JTextAreas), but on the other Linux box, the line spacing is much wider. I'm using default Swing fonts -- I'm not setting anything. I can't find a field or function...

I'm trying to create a layout table, where the spacing between rows varies. I've tried using setting margin-top and border-top for the rows I wan't spaced down from the one above, and I've also tried setting it on all of the cells of that row. This hasn't worked, so I was wondering if anyone knew how it could be done. Thanks, Rick DeBay

I have a small <div> element which contains two text blocks - one within <h5> tags and the other within <p> tags. I don't want any extra line spacing between elements so use the display:inline property. This works for IE6 but Opera7.54 and Netscape7.1 add large line spacing between the text blocks and any lines of wrapped text. The line spacing is independant of the font size and is consistent between all lines. ie: it's not larger...

I'm wondering if it's at all possible to have spacing between a table's cells, and only between the cells, not between the outter cells and the table's border. See end of message for an example (make sure to view this in fixed width font). I've played around with different things, such as margin-right, etc. but I didn't get any results. Would this be even possible. I would have thought the specs (either HTML or CSS) would have allowed...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
