I tried to do this to insert a few blank lines in my web page (to separate my text from an image displayed through a script) but it didn’t work:
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentText" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
<p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
...
If you have time to explain to me why the series of p’s and closing p’s didn’t work, that’ll be great. Otherwise, please just tell me how to insert some space there. Thanks.
You need
<br />which is a line break.<p>are for paragraphs and will separate any text between the opening and closing tag with any other elements, as they are all empty there is no effect.Investigate
<div>and<span>as there are countless ways to separate elements rather than just a blank line.
