The <p> tag – how do I stop it from starting one line below?

Whenever I use the <p> tage, it always puts the text one line below.
How do I stop it from doing this?

How do I have it so thatthe text start on exactly the same vertical position as it would od otherwise without the <p> tag!

*Not* using the <p> is not an option I have to use it (tooo long to explain why!).

Thanks.

@OM2authorApr 12.2008 — i've had a bit of success.

i've done the following:

p

{

position: relative;

top: -20px;

}

just wanted to check: is that ok to do...?

thanks.

margin: 0 0 1em;
}[/CODE]

Could you show some code and explain (no matter how long it takes as this is the only way we can figure out what you're after)..
