Full Version: Blog Description Line Break

Hi--when I enter my blog description, a line break gets automatically put in at random points in the description. See http://www.game-snob.com to see what I mean.

I've retyped the description in (to make sure I don't have a carriage return in there) and tried shortening and lengthening it, but to no avail.

Thanks,

I don't see the break in Firebird, only in IE, so it must be an IE bug of some sort?

I've seen it once before, and yes, it appears to be some sort of IE bug. The only solution I was able to come up with was to insert a <br /> tag just before the description </span> tag in the template. This seemed to fix the display in IE and did not affect the display in Firebird.

I did some testing on another page that saw this last week I think. And I found that if the line break between the end /span and /div is taken out, IE looks the same as Firefox.

So instead of this:
CODE
<div id="banner">
<h1><a href="<$MTBlogURL$>" accesskey="1"><$MTBlogName$></a></h1>
<span class="description"><$MTBlogDescription$></span>
</div>

use this:
CODE
<div id="banner">
<h1><a href="<$MTBlogURL$>" accesskey="1"><$MTBlogName$></a></h1>
<span class="description"><$MTBlogDescription$></span></div>

Thanks--removing the line break in the source worked perfectly! biggrin.gif
