CSS in Client always inserts a carriage return?

Hi,

I’m using CSS in the Notes Client for the first time, and am encountering a problem whereby i always get a carriage return instered before my rendered text.

I have created a simple test form as below:

aaa

ccc

where lines 1 and 3 are normal text, and the pass-thru enabled computed text on line 2 is:

“bbb”

and it displays as…

aaa

bbb

ccc

the style is applied correctly, but i always get a carriage return inserted…

And if my form is:

aaaccc

i get

aaa

bbbccc

???

What am i missing?

it’s because you are switching from non-passthru to passthru. can you not just use passthru for all the text?

otherwise try placing a non-passthru “space” immediately before and after the , and have everything on the one line. (that’s a guess)

i tend to shy away from using mixed passthru code on a Form for this exact reason, although all of my work is done with browsers and not the Notes client.

Hi Brad,

Thanks for the reply. It’s not really practical to change the whole form to be passthru html for a notes client form.

In my “real life” form (as opposed to the simple test form) i have a big table displaying lots of values, and wanted to aid the user to pick out important figures (dependent on the actual value) by using a change in font color to distinguish them.

Even if there is no non-passthru html text within a table cell i still get a carriage return before my rendered text, which just makes it look sloppy.

There are obviously other ways i can highlight these special values, but this seemed like a quick and simple solution. I should’ve known better!
