IE stange rendering:fishy stuff

jtaal · Feb 18, 2004

I have 2 pieces of html:

Code:

<body>
<form style=&quot;border: 1px solid gray;&quot;>
<br>
<br>
some text 1<br><br>
</form>
some text 2
</body>

the other one

Code:

<body>
<form style=&quot;border: 1px solid gray;&quot;>
<br>
<br>
some text 1<br>
</form>
some text 2
</body>

Obviously the difference is one <br> tag.
I want all you guys using IE check this out for me, and tell me you agree something fishy is going on (or not).
i was using IE 6.0...

I don't get it. Looks fine to me.

Is it possible you have a DOCTYPE declaration at the very top of your HTML file? If so... try removing it and then refreshing... does the problem remain?

Cheers,

Perhaps you could tell us what you see, instead of us playing guessing games?

I guess the number of line breaks appears equal when both documents are rendered eventhough one has an additional <br>. While fascinating, I don't see any practical value why someone would linger on this information.
