Paragraph tags different in Mozilla

I have a table where I have use a paragraph tag to indent my lines (actually
Front Page added it). But it causes all kinds of problems in Mozilla.

If you look at my samples you can see the difference.

If you look at http://www.payrollworkshop.com/sampl...graphtest1.htm you
will see a box that is larger than the text if you look at it in Mozilla.
In IE, the box is the same height (approx.) as the text. The code is:

<td valign="bottom" bgcolor="#C0C0C0">
<p style="margin-left: 15">Profiles on File:</p></td>
<td valign="bottom" bgcolor="#C0C0C0" colspan="5">&nbsp; </td>

I am only setting the margin on the left here, so why is Mozilla using it
all around the box?

If I take the <p> code out - it works fine in both IE and Mozilla
(http://www.payrollworkshop.com/sampl...raphtest2.htm).

In either case, it doesn't seem to work. It doesn't seem to indent the
text, anyway. I also tried it in the <td> field with no effect.

Thanks,

Tom

1. Get rid of FrontPage.

3. Add some units to the incorrect <p style="margin-left: 15">

1. Get rid of FrontPage.

I am not using FP, but my boss had been using it and is now mainly using DW
to build pages.

2. Stop abusing tables.

How did I abuse tables in my example?

Again - Front Page added this.

I agree. I assume this should be <p style="margin-left: 15px">

Your 8pt font is also unreadable. We discuss why not to use Verdana,
and not to use px or pt for font every day here. Surely, you've read a
few of those threads?

Sure doesn't look like tabular data to me.

I'm not sure I can see the rational behind shunning Verdana as a font for the
web. I would've thought that the main problem was using Verdana when not using
relative font sizes? Verdana was made for the screen... so why can't we use it?

Basically, I don't see a problem with using it as long as it's size is set using
a % (due to IE's "bug").

Yes, as long as you use 100 of them. 100%.
