I was wondering if there was a way to specify the distance between paragraphs using CSS?

No not "line-height", that sets the spaces between lines... I'm talking about the space between paragraphs.

For example, view this in IE6 and NS7.1: http://www.thestrider.com/

Also, there is a difference in the titleblock height. I've specified a height for that block, but that didn't help... Ideas?

Paragraph spacing difference between IE and Netscape...

Hi Strider,
Have you tried adjusting margin.
p{margin:10px;}

Hope that helps

The margin adjusts the horizontal spacing... I'm looking at the vertical spacing...

Hi Strider,
Actually margin adjust the space around the four sides of an element.
By default paragraphs have some margin around them so you may not have noticed any change.
You could try margin-top or margin-bottom or set margin to 0 and then add it in again till you get what you are after.

Hope that helps

*Slaps Head*

Duh, and to think, I'd already applied the same kind of fix to several other elements...
