Hi all,

Thanks for the replies :) I'm in finals right now and have been super swamped; not able to respond too quickly. 

I see that the WYSIWYG is none too popular...I can definitely switch to text boxes/fields (in some), however it seems weird that the WYSIWG is still defaulting <p> tags, even when I put the info. directly in the html editor.  It also seems as though the WYSIWG is not something that a client can really use now.  I threw the CMS together quickly and went wild on the WYSIWG editors, however can go back and change to a usual format.  But in the past, I've used the WYSIWG editors in certain areas and have not had this spacing problem.  It's nice for the clients to use b/c of how friendly the interface is.   

I will try this again and see how it goes. thanks,

ep

also - is there no other work around on this? 

& - when I use use text fields can i insert </br> tags right in the input field so that the text displays properly?

Hi Knight_oWL,

It seems that as the WYSIWYG editor is upgraded to more current versions, there are more caveats to make sure of. Especially when text is copied from a word processor. That's a big reason why many of us have shied away from it.

You can certainly  insert <br /> tags in the text of a text field, but remember that  they are automatically inserted when you use a carriage return in a text box.

what is a carriage return?

Hi knight owl,

Looks like Jerry just dated himself with that term, "carriage return"! ;-)  It's an older american term for hitting the return button on a typewriter. The equivalent today is hitting the "Enter" button.
