The space between block-level elements is usually a result of user agent styles (the default browser CSS), and all the ones I know of apply this to paragraph elements. Reset stylesheets are popularly used to override these defaults, and it's quite common for people to later specify their own.
Use a web inspector (right-click option on most modern browsers) to see what styles are being applied to the elements in question. Chances are a CSS rule somewhere has set the margin property to 0. I would recommend writing your own rules for spacing (again, using margins) between elements as the defaults are not standardised of guaranteed, and as such cannot be relied upon.
