Hi sundarm, welcome to WebmasterWorld... well, for 2 or 3 'spaces' you could just use    or     (non-breaking spaces) - but for any more this could become messy.

The old way was to use a single pixel (transparent) gif image and set the width and height on the IMG tag to space elements with pixel precision. This will still work (particularly in older browsers), but it goes against the rules of separating content from presentation, as the two are mixed, and it can make your markup confusing if used too much.

So I think the prefered method these days is to set the margin/padding and/or position:relative (with left: and top: set) in your external CSS file to perhaps space your elements. But the method used will depend on what you are trying to achieve.

To you have a particular example?

most of us are using the table format.
in this way your page can be structured as you want.
The choice is yours.
