    Don't actually know??? It is a blank paragraph and <br /> would be better for this...I was just looking at what you had & where you opened a para with <p> but then did not close it which was allowed in html 4.01 but not in xhtml trans

    OK, this is confusing me even more. I thought that was what a P was for, but I see that instead I need a BR (Breakline, right?) but now I need to close the code as well... so I will need a /BR for each line I want to skip.

    I did some editing that I thought was what you guys were telling me to do, but I guess I misunderstood...

    I put in this :
    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en">
    <head>
    <title>simple document</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <br></br>
    <br></br>
    <div align="left"><font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2">Condition: </font><b><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">VG</b></font>
    <br></br>
    <font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2">Title: </font><b><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">SLEEPWALKER</b></font><br></br>
    <font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2">Volume: </font><b><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Vol.1</b></font><br></br>
    <font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2">Series #: </font><b><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">#1</b></font><br></br>
    <font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2">Date: </font><b><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Jun. 91</b></font><br></br>
    <font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2">Publisher: </font><b><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Marvel</b></font><br></br>
    <font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2">Cover Price: </font><b><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">$1.00</b></font><br></br>
    <font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2">NOTES: </font><b><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Very slight spine curl.</b></font><br></br></div></p>
    </body>
    </html>
    saved the item and the info is spaced too far apart. SO went back in to edit and the code now looks like this :
    Code:
    <br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2">Condition: </font><b><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">VG</font> <br /><br /><font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2">Title: </font><b><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">SLEEPWALKER</font><br /><br /><font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2">Volume: </font><b><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Vol.1</font><br /><br /><font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2">Series #: </font><b><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">#1</font><br /><br /><font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2">Date: </font><b><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Jun. 91</font><br /><br /><font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2">Publisher: </font><b><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Marvel</font><br /><br /><font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2">Cover Price: </font><b><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">$1.00</font><br /><br /><font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2">NOTES: </font><b><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Very slight spine curl.</font><br /><br /></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></div><p />
    I'm still trying to sort thru it to see what its changing.
    While I appreciate the link to that site its not helping me because I don't understand it. The only info I'm trying to check is the description and it goes thru the entire page and its coding. Maybe I'm in the wrong place or whatever, but I"m doing something wrong and its not helping!
    I just want to get my store stocked !

    Have you tried using the html editor mode?

    Open the admin(starts a session) now tools > efines pages editor and select the html editor - now until you log out this will be the editpr used every where.

    now go to your product description and use the word processing like editor to style this and save.

    Sorry if this is what you have been doing

    Kobra meant for you to look at the HTML tutorial (upper left corner) on that site. It explains tag usage pretty thoroughly.

    He was mentioning something about validating and reading thru tutorials.... I've read thru all of what I could find and its not helping! I'm sorry, but I didn't write this to begin with, I started from the link that I showed above and from that screen...that way of viewing it and then I would click to see the code and gave showed the code to use, then when I found out I had priced a book wrong, I went in to edit the price and the code would change to what I've shown to you.
    I took the code that he wrote, and put in my part and thought I had added or taken away what ever needed to be done so that what I put in there and see the first time STAYS that way, but it doesn't!
    All of the reading of tutorials isn't going to help when I don't even know what I'm looking for.

    "would stylesheet changes be for the entire site?"

    Not at all. If you use unique class names for these bits, any styling in the stylesheet will affect only them. Even if you don't type each one in now, if you ever wanted to make any change in the appearance you would have to edit every single product separately. All of the font/size/color and much of the spacing can be controlled through the stylesheet, with one edit affecting all comic listings at the same time.
