Re: How to control above/below spacing of H & P tags for NS4x

The only solution that comes to mind is to detect whether it's NN or
IE and then use stylesheet according to it. To achive this, you could
use a simple javascript to do one of the following:
1. Write the whole CSS according to the browser
2. Write a call to existing CSS file, there being two separate CSS
   files - one for NN, one for IE.

BTW, nothing is impossible; you'll get there "eventually". [grin]
