Spacing problems

[Aaron Gray]

I aqm trying to do some spacing on a form between two text input fields
within a <td>. It works on IE but not FF or Opera :-

var spacer = document.createElement("span");
spacer.style.width = "3pt";
td.appendChild(spacer);

I have tried :

spacer.setAttribute( "style", "width:3pt");

as well but that does not work either.

Whats the best way of doing spacing in DOM without using tables.

Would not it be clearly a question for
<comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets>? I know it's like going to
dantist :-)) but still Followup-to is set ;-(

<spanis inline element, so its width should be ignored unless display
is changed to:
display: inline-block;
/* for Gecko */
display: -moz-inline-box;

IMHO the best way to have a "spacer" is by using margin-left and
margin-right rules of involved elements.
