Question about paragraph spacing in Firefox

[will7]

In Dreamweaver, when I get to the end of a paragraph, I hit the "Return" button to start another. My problem is that if you look at www.rednerve.com in Internet Explorer, you can clearly see where one paragraph ends and the next one begins, whereas, if you look at the site in Firefox, the spacing between paragraphs seems to be less than in Internet Explorer and it makes reading the text more awkward.

Does anyone know why this is and how I can fix it? Is there a CSS function thay you can use to define paragraph spacing or something?

Thanks,

Will.

I'm not exactly sure what's causing it, but you do have some funny things going on, such as:

<p><span class="main_text">paragraph text</span> <span class="h1">bold   text</span> <span class="main_text">the rest of the paragraph.</span></p>

Hint: Don't use the class "main_text", instead create a P style in the stylesheet using the styles from "main_text", eg:

p {
   font-family:arial;
   font-size:0.9em;
   color:#444;
}

Then for all the paragraphs you can do something like this:

<p>paragraph text <span class="bold">bold text</span> the rest of the paragraph.</p>

This keeps the code a lot cleaner and may solve the paragrah spacing issue you're having. I also noticed a bunch of paragraphs are missing the closing P tags which could be causing problems. One last thing, the 10px font size is way too small and makes reading strenuous, especially with the grey text.
