Hi Linda,

You may be able to use an adjacent sibling selector to do it,
something like this:

.myclass + br {
    display: none;
}

I don't think that will work in IE 6, but it seems to be supported in
most other browsers.

BR in general is a difficult tag to style, see for example:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/899252/can-you-target-br-with-css

You might want to look into changing the source code itself using a
perl script or a tool like BBEdit that could process those 700 pages
in a few seconds.

Hope that helps,
