re children and inheritence

[adrian suri]

Hi

still playing around with css, now I want to place say a box which in
inference from <pre> formatted

samplecode {
font-family: monospace;
border-style: solid solid solid solid;
border-width: thin thin thin thin;
float: left;
position: relative;
visibility: visible;
height: auto;
background-color: white;
}
Basically I am using this to place sample cpp code I tried

pre.samplecode

but am unsure how to address this in the html file, I want the box to be
relative to the paragraph above and the hight and width to be be
relative to the text inside

hope this is not too vague

regards

Adrian

I'd think that sample code would be better placed in a <CODE> element
than in a <PRE> element.
pre.samplecode

but am unsure how to address this in the html file,

<pre class="samplecode">, if I understand your question properly.

But then you would need some ccs like:

code{
font-family: monospace;
white-space: pre;
}

(or append each line of code-text with a <br>, wich is rather
cumbersome)

and IE (that is 5.5, don't know about the other versions) does not
support the white-space part of this css declaration.
Semantically indeed it belongs in a <code> </code> block, but to make
life a little easier I suggest using
<pre>
<code>
... your .cpp code
</code>
</pre>

At leat that's how I did it here:

Maybe I'll provoke some hefty counterblast for this, but if it's the
kind of code that's conventionally presented in a fixed format, I
wouln't be shy to mark it up with <pre> *and* <code>.

Hi

tried code but since I am using lots of these to highlight etc key words
it mucks up, anyway
I got it working using
pre.samplecode
{
border-style: solid solid solid solid;
border-width: thin thin thin thin;
float: left;
visibility: visible;
height: auto;
background-color: white;
font-family: monospace;
position: relative;
padding-left: 2pt;
width: 50em;
Font-style: normal;
Border-color: black;

}
the problem now is I wanted the text to wrap around this this, which it does
but I can't gt padding to give some space between, I upload the file if
anyone cares to look

look for this middle of the page

const int arrSize=30; //constant can't be changed
charfirstName[arrSize];
char lastName[arrSize]; // set up arr of char for full name
char country[arrSize];
