text alignment in pop up box

[reward]

Hi, I am working on a FAQs Pop-up window and need my text to all line up under the pervious line. e.g.:

Q. How do I do start my next line of text under the "How"? it always starts the next line under the Q. I am not using a table.

Also, is there a "dictionary" of html characters and what they mean? I've figured most on my own <br> </i> etc., but would love a list. I'm sure it would have helped with me silly alignment problem... thanks!

Check out W3Schools (http://www.w3schools.com) They might have something

You could try to use bullets instead of "Q". At the end of the question, just add <br>.

Example:

<ul>
<li>What blah blah blah?<br>
Answer the blahs
<li>Second set of blahs?<br>
More blahs
</ul>

If you don't like bullets, replace <ul> with <ol>

Another way of doing this is using tables. Create a two column table, the width of the first one not wide at all. On the right column, include the question and answers.

Consider using the <pre> tag - it retains the text formatting of your source code (i.e., doesn't 'HTML' it). You'll have to settle for a monospace font, however.

This might help with your 2nd question as well:
