Hi.
now, developing several websites.
now when using jaws, reading in paragraph mode, it read the line, then the
next line, if i read in sentence mode, there is a blank, between lines.
now would like to have no blank lines read in between paragraphs on the web.
is this normal practice, using jaws, while reading in line or sentence mode
or line mode.
can any one suggest how i can fix this one?
will paste a couple of lines, from my html code below.
and for putting links, within paraggraphs the link has no spaces, and wraps
around, instead of being on the same line, in a paragraph.
so how do i fix this one?
cheers Marvin.

As with your table code before, your problem is probably related to
those <br> tags you so liberally place in your markup. These are
invalid, and are also likely to be the cause of the pauses you're
hearing in Jaws.

Not to pick nits, just to clarify...are the <br> tags invalid or just
inappropriate?

BR is an inline element. If you're using a strict document type, you
need to have it inside a block level element inside the body.
