HuggieBear Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Why can't you use [b]<[/b][b]br>[/b] I thought that was valid in HTML Strict.Try [b]<br [/b][b]/>[/b] It might be that it wants a closing tag.According to this line in the DTD, it's fine as text markup...[quote]<!ENTITY % special "A | IMG | OBJECT | BR | SCRIPT | MAP | Q | SUB | SUP | SPAN | BDO">[/quote]RegardsHuggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdRock Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Dunno if it's anything to do with this but if you're using css inline then you should start with <style type="text/css"> and end with </style> and put the css in between Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuggieBear Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 [quote][code]<title>hi ya</title></head><body>this brake does not work<br>this line with brake works<p class="test">hi there i am <br>reddarrow</p></body></html>[/code][/quote]I hate to say it, but that's correct. You should always have paragraph tags around your text.RegardsHuggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
