Domino frequently inserts break tags (
) at the top of forms and subforms. Not only that, but it’s inconsistent (sometimes it adds them, sometimes it doesn’t).
Why is it adding these tags and, more important, how do I get rid of them (they’re adding space where I don’t want it!)?
Thanks.

I nearly always use passthru html for all of my web forms. You often get this
tag issue when your form has some line as passthru and others that aren’t.
Make it all passthru and your troubles will disappear

The break tag seems to be caused by some combination of hidden text, pass-thru text (using the Text menu attribute), and bracketed text (to make it pass-thru).
I think (so far) that the best work around is to make the first non-hidden character a space, and setting it to pass-thru text using the property on the Text menu – NOT using brackets ().
What a terrible workaround. And I’m sure it will interfere with something else.
I would like it a lot better if Domino would not print unexpected breaks.

If you add some passthru-html (can be hidden and some fake code like <!></!>, if you don’t have real html code there) at the beginning and end of the subform, then Domino won’t show additional
s.

Mika, your solution works great.
But now I see that Domino is inserting paragraph (
) tags, too. After my
The same solution works for those inserted tags: add a space before your content, then set just that space to Text – Pass-thru HTML.

Do a search on this forum - I know we ran in to this here early on in R5–>R6 migration, and I found a fix on this forum.

Hi
My experience tells me if you want anything positioned correctly …then use CSS. Otherwise you will spend hours and hours swearing at Domino :-)…

True, but for two problems:
Domino is inserting the
automatically and it’s affecting the style sheets.
I’m still not 100% with style sheets.

If you are getting br tags at the top of forms or subforms this is generally caused by breaks on your form so try just deleting all space between any fields you have at the top (I guess some hidden stuff).
I can assure you if you remove all these “breaks” the br tags will go - sometimes you will have to delete stuff temporarily to test where that unsuspecting break is.
I think tables always get a br before them so you cannot avoid that.

Tried that. Domino is definitely generating an extra
.

I can’t recall the exact nature of the fix, but it was an unexpected kind of fix. Search a bit more, as I am quite sure there is an answer here for the finding. Wish I could help more.
Subject: I can be completely wrong
While is was fiddling with the IE Explorer Rich Text Control I had to use Shift + Enter (or was it control +Enter?) to have a proper line break.Beat me or laugh at me but I’ve had some success doing that too in the Notes Designer client.
I have been able to kill most random
tags. I use
myself so it is easy for me what are mine and what are those of Domino.
Forgive me if I am wrong, I have not deeply investigated in this issue.
