space between adjacent buttons of custom vertical linkbar

For a new site I've created a custom vertical linkbar, using custom buttons.
It's functionally just what I want.
But the buttons are adjacent, with no space in between. The customer wants
a approx. 10 pixel space in between buttons. Several FP themes have
vertical buttons with space in between.
How can I do this on a custom vertical linkbar?
Thanks,

Dave

I'd be interested to see the code. Perhaps all you need is a line break or
two between the buttons
 
Hi Trevor,
The code is the standard "webbot" code that FP2003 inserts:

<!--webbot bot="Navigation" S-Orientation="vertical" S-Rendering="graphics"
S-Type="children" B-Include-Home="TRUE" B-Include-Up="FALSE" -->

I found that setting the paragraph to double space does insert a space in
the design mode. But the preview mode and browser mode do not reflect the
space.

Yes, I would like to find a way to insert a space in a custom theme vertical
graphic navigation.

Any ideas welcome.

Dave

You can change the spacing using a little CSS. In the <head> section of
the page add the following:
<style type="text/css">
div#vert img {margin-bottom:50px;}
</style>

In the page, surround the webbot with a <div>:

<div id="vert"><!--webbot bot="Navigation" S-Orientation="vertical"
S-Rendering="graphics" S-Type="top" B-Include-Home="TRUE"
B-Include-Up="FALSE" --></div>

Change the 50px to a more suitable size - 50px is a little large.
 
I think if you look at the buttons that come as part of a theme you will see a transparent border
around each.

This may not apply to FP2003.

Try putting each button in its own frame and adjust the frame borders.
That what my site does.

You mean table/cells.
