Date, spacing, margin

[SteveH]

Hello

I don't wish to be pedantic, but what is the reason, please, for this space (screenshot attached) between the ordinal date and the name of the month?

This is my code:

<%
Dim suffix
Select Case Day(Date())
    Case 1,21,31: suffix = "st"
    Case 2,22: suffix = "nd"
    Case 3,23: suffix = "rd"
    Case Else: suffix = "th"
End Select

Response.Write "<p class=""show_date"">" & WeekdayName(Weekday(Date())) _
             & " " & Day(Date()) & "<sup>" & suffix & "</sup>" _
             & MonthName(Month(Date())) & "</p>"


%>

and this is the CSS:

p.show_date { 
    font-size: 10px;  
text-align: right; 
margin-right:10px;

}
p.show_date sup {
    font-size: 10px;
margin-right:10px;
}

I only noticed it after I had added the right-margin to pull the date away from the side a bit.

Many thanks!

You put it there:

p.show_date sup {
    font-size: 10px;
    margin-right:10px;
}

Without that 10px margin on the right side of the ^... you wouldn't have any space. Just remove that or change it to the number of pixels you want.

Nothing to do with ASP. Just CSS.

Thanks for that Old Pedant. It looks a bit better now at 5px.

Cheers!
