?style sheet

Bruce Wallace

G'day all
I am making a simple website for my brother's restaurant. I am doing the
menu page and using an ordered list (see below). How can I put the prices on
the page on the same line as the food and in the same spot for each entry
without using the blank spaces tag. The prices do not line up exactely for
each entry. Can I use a style sheet? I have tried but cannot find the tag
for the price that would keep it on the same line as the food. Can anyone
help. Thanks Bruce

Actually, I think in this case, you would be better off using a table and
style it accordingly.

not many drink XXXX either (mainly a queenslanders drink). feels like

Thanks a lot all for your very prompt replies. Will use a table. I am from
New South Wales and you can't beat the South Australian beer Coopers (so not
biased). The sparkling ale and stout gets better with age, in the bottle.

This is what I have done so far, and it works. I have 70 items on the menu
so will probably have 4-5 pages for the menu. Is there a better way of doing
it without all of those pages. Bruce

considering the errors it only works by accident. you're also mixing
CSS with its replacement (deprecated elements) just use CSS.

One long page and a scrollbar?
And use anchors to be able to go up and down directly to whichever
section of the page you want.

You need to download HTMLTidy (you can
find it through w3.org) --
here's a version corrected by it in
seconds. Notice how it will even change
deprecated markup to CSS if you ask it
to (although, in this case, you may want
to tweak the CSS a bit more):

.... snip code

It's much better to put the page on the web somewhere & post a link
rather than paste all the code.

Anyway, by no means perfect, but here's an idea :

http://porjes.haxorz.org/thai.html

I think you'll see that the html is much simpler & easier to write and
change.

Is this the Ummarin in Randwick? I think I've eaten there.

Thanks for the advice everybody. I am struggling with stylesheets, and basic
HTML in fact, but learning as I am going.
The restaurant is the Ummarin at Randwick, my brother and his wife (she is
Thai) have had the restaurant for about 10 years.

Really now. I'd rather drink Pabst Blue Ribbon than anything I've had from
Canada.

I don't know where the following come from, but they're hands-down the best:
1. Chimay Ale
2. Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout
3. Anchor Steam
4. Harp (actually, I know that comes from Ireland)
5. Harpoon

I bet it doesn't - Harp in the UK comes from the Guiness factory in West

You'd rather have American beer than Canadian beer? They must be putting
