That is slightly depended on what doc-type you are using, but yes for good measure use <br />. That way when you decide to say move to the xhtml doc-type things are already mostly correct

w3 is no recommeding <br /> , xhtml due to broken tags in html. in order to pass w3 validation [which by the way this site doesn't have] the site should use xhtml. xhtml is easier to read than html.

Hey JSBN, would you mind posting your solution so that others on the board can learn.

Thanks.
