How to create spaces between words or objects

55
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. }
