Vertical spacing between paragraphs

Hello experts,
I am having trouble closing up the space between a title and a subtitle that
needs to have a different style. I am usingCSS.

Line spacing seems to work only on the vertical space between lines within a
paragraph, not between paragraphs. This makes sense.

I have tried putting each element in its own table cell, each with its own id,
and playing with positive and negative margins and padding. If there is a
combination that would work, I would be glad to hear it. At the moment my
knowledge of margins and padding is based almost totally on trial and error,
not on comprehension.

My current work around is to keep the subtitle in the same paragraph, put in a
line break, and the style the subtitle. That has given me a good result on my
browser, but I'm not sure about other browsers. Also, work arounds me nervous
about creating other problems I don't know about.

Can anyone give me the right solution, or at least critique my work around
solution?

Many thanks so much in advance for help.

Richard

Can you post a link to the page and we can look at the issue you are having?

p { margin:0; }

Sorry it was so verbose.

Your apology was more verbose than the solution you offered.

p { margin:0; }


Of course, this will affect every paragraph on the page...not just the ones
containing the titles and subtitles...and they will have to have seperate
style classes applied, as well.

Perhaps that was enough. We don't know really. OK - I'll modify my
suggestion -

p.special { margin:0; }

Well, there you go being correct again.
I suppose there could be a page with nothing but a list of Titles and
Subtitles all bunched together with no line seperation.
