I did kind of mention taking out the "class=body" in the first comment, but wasn't sure if it was doing anything, as I hadn't looked in the CSS source at that point. Still, glad it's all sorted!

Surrounding the text in <p> did the trick but not before I removed three unneccessary class="body"s There were bodies all over the place, and by taking them all out and using a specific style for p it all seems to be tidied up. Still got to go through the whole site and fix it but at least now I know how to. Thanks Lyle!

I don't know if that'll render it all any differently, but for cleanliness of code (and it should validate at that point) it's generally better and easier to read than using br's all over the gaff. Other than that, I'll have a furkle with it tonight, and see what I can come up with.

I tried it and it almost worked, it got rid of one or two of the repeated characters but not them all. To get it to work I had to add in three <p> tags, which made the HTML invalid of course. I've left it with an extra three line breaks at the end which hides the symptom but doesn't get rid of the cause. Hmm, any other ideas? Thanks for the suggestion.

So you'd have " <div id="content"> (and poss take out the "class=body" too) <p> text </p> </div> Might do it - I'm not certain, but that's my first thought on it, anyway.

So you’d have ”
<div id=”content”> (and poss take out the “class=body” too)
<p>
text
</p>
</div>
