Is there any 'correct' way to get paragraphs to remain block level

P + P { margin-top: -1em; } ) and that seems to work pretty good but
is there any other method that's less of a hack?
Christian,
Browsers come equipped with default stylesheets. The gap you see
beneath each P tag is assigned by a margin-bottom value (1em?) in
your browser's default stylesheet. You can override that by setting
the margin-bottom to zero or any other value.
Because different browsers come with somewhat different style
defaults, many developers have gotten into the habit of zeroing out
such values at the beginning of our stylesheets, for example:
*
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
This puts browsers on a common footing and makes it easier to style
consistently cross-browser without 'hidden' styling contributing
irksome surprises. The price for that degree of control is the
concomitant responsibility for assigning margins & padding to all
elements, as desired.
Paul
