I'm creating a common navigation bar of text "buttons" using CSS. On each
page, I want the corresponding button to be "inert" (no hover, etc) as a
visual clue to where you are.
I thought I'd include simple <p> tags, and style them the same way as the
<a> tags, but I can't get it to work - I get different margins in each case.
I've reduced the situation to the essentials here: http://philipherlihy.members.beeb.net/CssMargins/
Is there a fix, or am I swimming against the current? Suggestions very
welcome - it's driving me mad!

Why use <p>? In the context of the rest of your code <span> would make
more sense.

You should have mentioned that this quirk is specific to IE.
An unordered list is commonly accepted as the correct markup for a
navbar.

Philip,
It isn't quite clear (to me) what it is that you are attempting to
accomplish. When your page opens in my browser the paragraph box is appears
attached to link 1 and link 2 appears as a box just to the right of the
paragraph and link 1, but for a small gap between them.
The confusion is that you start off by saying that you want an "inert"
effect, but the second paragraph you discuss margins.
Please clarify.

Philip,
(Earlier, I attempted to respond to your message. For some reason it never
posted.)
Exactly what is it that you want to accomplish? Is it to close up the small
gap between link 1 & link 2 or widen the gap between paragraph and link 1.
Please clarify what you want to appear.

I found I was getting the same quirk in Opera, so it's not just IE. I'm
grateful for the tip about unordered lists - I just thought a <p> was
simpler, as there is no need to turn off the marker. I'll experiment -
thanks.

The <p> tag (not being an <a>) does give the "inert" effect I want, in that
it doesn't trigger my default hover effect set using "a:hover". However,
p's and a's seem to have different margin properties - I'd have liked both
types to appear identically, and you can see from my example code that this
doesn't happen. The ultimately desired effect would be to have no gaps
between the items at all.
The example code omits everything which isn't necessary to demonstrate the
margin weirdness, so there's no hover effect.
Hope that's clearer (somehow I doubt it!). Thanks for your interest,
anyway!

Just so - it's the spacing inconsistencies that give me the problem - in my

the same problem in Opera, but haven't tried other browsers so far.

I've checked a couple of on-line resources and am unable to determine how

Can someone explain the difference or recommend an online site that can

One method is to use <, > ,<Company> to display '<', '>' and '<Company>' respectively.
But is there any freeware code available which could implement the above functionality without having to use >,< and such stuff???

One would assume that the PHP interpreter works like any other, that
