You should be careful with this. Because this: <body bgcolor="red"> <table> <tr> <td><img src="http://struts.apache.org/images/asf_logo_wide.gif";><img src="http://struts.apache.org/images/asf_logo_wide.gif";></td> </tr> </table> </body>
does not render the same as this: <body bgcolor="red"> <table> <tr> <td> <img src="http://struts.apache.org/images/asf_logo_wide.gif";> <img src="http://struts.apache.org/images/asf_logo_wide.gif";> </td> </tr> </table> </body> Other than a few whitespace characters, they are identical, but they will not look the same on most browsers. -- James Mitchell Software Engineer / Open Source Evangelist EdgeTech, Inc. 678.910.8017 AIM: jmitchtx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Bender" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Craig McClanahan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 10:33 AM Subject: RE: JTidy integration? > Thanks for the reply and the expertise.
