br line height
I've posted a picture of my current topnav bar and some sample code. I'd like to make it one single line instead of carrying over to two lines. So instead of it looking like:

home plate | all stars | clinics

I'd like it to look like

home | all | clinics
plate stars

Trouble is when I change my html to item<br />1 I can't figure out how to control the line-height so that there's not a big gap between the two words..

Any suggestions?



Code:
   <div id="topnav" class="wrap">
          <ul id="nav">
	       <li><a href="index.html">HOME<br />PLATE</a></li>
               <li><a href="#">ALL<br />STARS</a>
                    <ul>
                         <li><a href="#">text</a></li>
                         <li><a href="#">text</a></li>
                         <li><a href="#">text</a></li>
                         <li><a href="#">text</a></li>
                    </ul>
               </li>
               <li><a href="#">CLINICS</a>
                    <ul>
                         <li><a href="#">text</a></li>
                         <li><a href="#">text</a></li>
                         <li><a href="#">text</a></li>
                         <li><a href="#">text</a></li>
                    </ul>			
               </li>
Code:
#topnav 			{ clear:both; margin:0px 0px 20px 0px;  }
#topnav ul		{ border-top:1px #aaa dotted;
					padding:0px 0px;	}
#topnav ul li		{ display:inline; margin-right:20px;	}
#topnav ul li a	{ font-weight:bold;	}


#topnav a:link		{ color:#000;	}
#topnav a:visited	{ color:#000;	}
#topnav a:active	{ color:#000;	}
#topnav a:hover	{ color:#BF6000;	}
#topnav a:focus	{ color:#BF6000;	}

then don't use a br, it's a line break....... why don't you just use a plain ole space?

If I just use a character, the second word isn't pushed to the second line, I want the second word pushed to the second line like in the following example:

Hello JeremySchubert,
You don't really provide enough information. The code you've given us doesn't make the space you're seeing.

ok, i see what you mean. well you could do something like :

#nav li a br{
height:10px;
line-height:10px;
}

maybe also reset the padding and margin to 0?

you could also use #topnav ul li a br if you want it to be similar to what you have already.
