View Full Version : Strange behaviour of html <br> tag in iSiloX?

Hi,

In my css I define paragraphs with a "text-indent" property so as to indent the first line of my text. Within these text paragraphs I have some <br> tags. When the <br> tag is followed by other tags (such as <span class="x"> or <a href="...">) then iSiloX (on Windows, at least) insists on indenting the following text rather than simply starting a new line.

I have tried the same html on some browsers (Firefox and IE) where it behaves as I would expect: ie starting a new line but with no text indent.

I wonder if this is one of those "disputed areas" with html/css definitions, or is it a bug in iSiloX?

Many thanks for any comments - or suggestions as to how to get the new line without indentation (whilst preserving my other "span" and "a" tags.

Has no one any comments or observations on this <br> matter?

Although the iSilo display model closely follows the HTML/CSS display model, there can be differences.

Do you have a small HTML/CSS source file that we can take a look at that demonstrates the problem you are describing?

Thanks for response.
Attached (I hope!) is a zip file containing a sample of html/css files that shows the anomaly.
I did in fact try to get the problem with a much smaller sample - but found that the anomaly did not occur in that one! It was just a paragraph with a couple of <br> tags, one followed by a <span...> the other not.

I wonder if the sample files I sent help work out the problem... I'm intrigued as to what's going on with these <br> tags.
Thanks,

Sorry, we have not had a chance to look in detail at the issue.
