I am working on a simple "print" CGI program and cannot get the HTML to
co-operate. Can anybody tell me what I'm missing.
The code below shows basically what I'm trying to do. It is a simple table
to contain pre-formed print lines. The tags that are causing the problem
are the <PRE> ones. They work just fine in terms of maintaining the
spacing within a line, but they cause the row height to be doubled for no
reason I can see. It seems to me that I should be able to use <CODE>
instead. True enough this resolves the height issue, but also causes the
line spacing to get scewed up because multiple spaces are compressed. This
seems very strange behaviour for a tag designed to allow you to show code
samples but .....
<HTML><BODY>
<TABLE border="1" rules="groups" width="800" cellpadding=5>
<THEAD BGCOLOR="#94D6E7">
<TR><TD><pre>Heading</pre></TD></TR>
</THEAD>
<TBODY>
<TR><TD><pre> 1 2</pre></TD></TR>
<TR bgcolor="#C6EFF7"><TD><pre>12345678901234567890</pre></TD></TR>
<TR><TD><pre>JK LMN O P QR </pre></TD></TR>
<TR bgcolor="#C6EFF7"><TD><pre>More test data</pre></TD></TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
</BODY></HTML>
Any inspirations ?
