SPACER - Extra Space

<SPACER>

TYPE=[ HORIZONTAL | VERTICAL | BLOCK ]
ALIGN=[ LEFT | RIGHT | TOP | ABSMIDDLE | ABSBOTTOM | TEXTTOP | MIDDLE | BASELINE | BOTTOM ]
SIZE=Pixels
HEIGHT=Pixels
WIDTH=Pixels

"The SPACER tag inserts a space in the document. The space can be between characters or between lines, or it can be a spacing rectangle, similar to an invisible image."

(From the Netscape DevEdge Online Documentation HTML Tag Reference.)

"... specifies whether the extra space is inserted between characters or between lines, or whether it is a rectangular space that is effectively an invisible image. The value can be one of the following:

• HORIZONTAL inserts horizontal space between two characters. The width of this space is specified by the SIZE attribute.
• VERTICAL inserts vertical space between lines. Netscape Navigator adds a line break to end the current line, then adds the vertical space before the beginning of the next line. The height of the space is specified by the SIZE attribute.
• BLOCK behaves almost exactly like an invisible image. Netscape Navigator ignores any SIZE attribute and instead uses the HEIGHT, WIDTH, and ALIGN attributes to define a spacing rectangle."

(From the Netscape DevEdge Online Documentation HTML Tag Reference.)

"... applies only when the extra space is a block. It specifies the alignment of the spacing rectangle in relation to the surrounding text. If you do not specify a value for ALIGN, Navigator uses "BOTTOM" as the default. The values are the same as the values of ALIGN for the IMG tag."

(From the Netscape DevEdge Online Documentation HTML Tag Reference.)

"... applies only when the extra space is a block. It specifies the width of the spacing rectangle in pixels."

(From the Netscape DevEdge Online Documentation HTML Tag Reference.)

"... applies only when the extra space is a block, and specifies the height of the spacing rectangle in pixels."

(From the Netscape DevEdge Online Documentation HTML Tag Reference.)

"... depends on the value of TYPE. When the spacer is of type HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL, the SIZE attribute specifies the absolute width or height in pixels of the added space. If the extra space is a block, the SIZE attribute is ignored."
