Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines.

"HTML help"
I am trying to put the syllabus for the class I am assisting on Blackboard Courseware, and have it saved in HTML...everything is fine, except in places where there are columns made by indenting (for instance, at the top of the syllabus, on the left side there is the prof's name and info underneath, and on the right should be the TAs' names and such)

But when I put it in the system, the second column/indented information ends up right next to the first. How can I make columns/indentations using HTML? (we are trying to use HTML rather than plain text because we want certain information bolded and italicized, etc)

so if I wanted:

Prof. Bob Smith
100 Bldg. A
555-5555 / email@email.com
Office Hours: MWF 10-11
(and by appointment)

and across from it:

Graduate Teaching Assistants:
Susan James (MT 9-10)
Jack Jones (WR 1-2)
Chris White (WF 12-1)
Office: 300 Bldg. A (555-2222)

how might I go about doing that? for the moment I'm adding in some invisible filler using <font color=white>bbbbbbbbbbb</font>
is that a reasonable thing to do or is that going to cause more trouble than its worth?

2. "RE: also"
<br> takes you to the next line without skipping

The first one is harder ... put it in a table with two columns
You're gonna have to look it up though, and play with it a bit.
Basically the command will look like

<table><tr><td>stuff for first line, first column</td>
<td>Second line, first column</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
second column stuff</td></tr>
</table>

4. "RE: also"
ok, that sets everything in nice columns, but how do I get the second column spaced further from the first column?
