cant figure out how to put spaces between webpage objects

Posted 29 December 2010 - 01:46 PM

For the final summative assignment of my grade 12 computer science course i need to work on a webpage to display information of a volleyball game and i cannot figure out how to put spaces above or below objects on the webpage. I am aware that this is likely a very noob question, but i am fairly new to html so please have mercy >.<

What's you code for this so far? have you tried: <br /> after the object? You can use padding in CSS.

rather than creating new threads, i will use this one for any other questions i may have. Another question i have is how to play multiple objects(such as tables) on the same line but on different areas of the page(such as one on the left, one in the center, etc)

Are you using tables to position elements? If you are you need to stop. You can use position in CSS and make something like:
#object
{
position: absolute;
top: 50px;
right: 50px;
}
You can read more about positioning here. I hope that this helps :)

If you're new to web development I suggest you take a look at some tutorials on here, w3schools.com, and YouTube can also be a great resource!

Ah I see. Then it's okay to use tables for that. Is the position in CSS what you're looking for?

i know how to set the position in CSS, but i cant get two charts to be on opposite ends of a page and be on the same line as each other.

It's really hard to help if I can't see your code.

First you need a doctype. Then give your tables ids. Then make the first one float: left; in CSS and the other one float: right; in CSS.
