How do <breaks> work?
I'm having a problem in IE where two breaks, <br><br> don't equal a paragraph, they don't show as anything. Other browsers notice them. What sort of properties does a break tag have? They don't exactly wrap around anything, how can I control them?

Breaks should work pretty much the same across browser-land. They generate a "newline". Do you have a page we can look at?

Ahh! Thanks, Greg. Now I see what Wishstik is getting at.
My question now would be - why would you want to do that? The CSS "margin" properties are designed for adjusting spacing between elements. No need for extra HTML markup for that.
Cordially, David

Agree with webwiz, no need for extra breaks between element, only when you want to break a line in a paragraph.
