How to remove whitespace after/inside <div>?

[pstein]

Assume the following code:

<div class="foobar">
"whitespace"
<p>....</p>
</div> 

"whitespace" is not the text but a whitespace as indicated in Firefox WebDeveloper.

How can I get rid of every whitespace inside after a <div class=foobar"> and the first <p> with Javascript?

You can apply css property for that.like margin-left

 

[dsonesuk]

.foobar, .foobar * {display: inline-block; }

The reason you would be having what you call whitespace is because the div and paragraph are block elements, meaning they will fill the total width available to it, causing it to stack below any content.
