Hi,
I'm trying to create a web document using CSS. Though, what I want
to do really seems to lend it self to tables, unless there's
something I'm missing.
Basically, I want:
Term: Some long description here which may or may not span
multiple lines, but regardless, should be left
justified.
I've tried using <dfn> with <span>, and event specified that a class
which tells the text to be left justified. However, it's not
co-operating :(
Here's what I have:
.desc { text-align: left;
text-transform: none;
text-style: none;
font-size: 12pt;
}
I've tried things like:
<dfn>Term:</dfn>
<span class="desc">
Some long description here which may or may not span
multiple lines, but regardless, should be left
justified.
</span>
Howerver, it left justifies with the 'Term', which I don't want.
(Yes, I know I'm abusing HTML, and I'm not *supposed* to be trying to
dictate the presentation, but isn't that what standards are for? :)
Does anyone have any ideas, or should I just use tables :)
Thanks,

It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!
