Hello, I have CMS form that allows HTML for the body of a site. To keep the form somewhat WYSIWYG, I am using the nl2br() function for displaying: nl2br($t_body) This works great for normal stuff.. but for pages with tables etc.. it creates a lot of extra "<br />'s" :-). I thought about doing an if statement.. if $t_body contains <table> then don't use nl2br().. but I'm thinking there has got to be a better way... because pages that use both WYSIWYG returns in the form AND tables would then not display well. Any thoughts? Thanks, Donovan
You have an example of a page you'd like to control that we can see? On the surface, it appears you may be able to control the rendering with advanced CSS2/3 selectors. Thus, the browsers will do the work for you. Al..........
