Hi,

I'm trying to figure out why I get extra <br />'s when I post a table.

Here's a simple test. I post this:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

And I get this in the HTML of the displayed page:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Now this test will push the description down 5 line below where the desciption should start. However when I use a more complicated table with multiple columns and rows, the table displays MANY lines below where I'd like it to display. So much so that I can't display a table of specs in my review.

Now, I realize that I'm putting line breaks in when I place this text into the textfield when posting, however in testing, if I place every tag back to back, I get to the end of the textfield and it wraps. That wrap is interpreted as a line break and it screws up the html rendering my attempt to display my table useless. Further, to make my job easier, I use an HTML editor to build the table. Then I copy and past the HTML into the textfield when posting a product. I have HTML enabled but it seems that Reviewpost is not taking what I post in the textfield literally as HTML, rather it modifies it.

Is there anything I can hack to stop this? I'd really like to use tables and HTML as I specified, not modified.

Thanks
