NOF 10 Inserts <p></p> tags all over the place -- HELP!!

Hi, Everyone!

I'm really hoping someone here can help me get to the bottom of this issue,
as I'm just about at my wit's end.

Here's the deal:

- I have a blank temlate which is using the ZeroMargins master border --
very clean with no
objects added to the layout

- I now use NOF-10 to create a single table with specifically sized columns
and rows to serve as the
framework for the content I'm going to add to the page. Nothing special
here -- no rocket science
involved

- I modify the properties of this one table to include the following:

o Width: 100%
o Cell Padding: 0
o Cell Spacing: 0
o Border: 0
o Generate non-breaking spaces: -UNCHECKED- (very important for my point)

- Next, I go to the first row in my table and use <CTRL>+T to bring-up the
HTML entry window
and I proceed to manually enter all of the code I need for that cell to
render its content.

Please note that I've already validated the HTML outside of NOF and it's
solid -- it displays just
fine in all browsers and there are -NO SIGNS- of any '<p></p>' tags in it.

- I then move on to the other cells in the table and follow the same
process. Again, I have not entered
one single paragraph tag anywhere in this thing.

- Next, I go to the page preview and look at what should be a fantastic
looking page, and what I see
are friggin' -GAPS- between all of the rows in the table framework because
NOF-10 has injected
these '<p></p>' tags all over the place!!

Nothing I try within the IDE will fix this! By all rights this should not
be happening, since I did select
every option I could find to ensure no gaps would be present within the
table framework! Dang!!!

- To get my page to look the way it should when it's rendered, I have to
publish the pages (all of them),
and then -MANUALLY- modify every single NOF-10 generated page to get rid
of the '<p></p>'
tags in the final HTML pages so all of my content looks seamless.

If this isn't the biggest bunch of crap I've ever seen?!? Does anyone know
what I can do to force NOF-10
from injecting all of these paragraph tags between table rows? I'm open to
any and all suggestions at this
point, because as you can guess this has been a -huge- time waster for me.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration of my issue!

Marcus E. Harris was thinking very hard :

In other words, you're clicking inside the cell - NOF interprets this
as entering text so it inserts paragraph markers.

Click on the cell, not inside it, and click the "Cell HTML" button in
the Properties box.

This is where it gets subtle - you have the choice of putting your code
before, after or inside the tags but not between them which is where
you probably want it.

I'm using a PHP snippet here as an example, you'll have to adapt
accordingly:

If I put the snippet:
<? echo "Test"; ?>

inside the tag I end up with something like:
<td width="109" <? echo "Test"; ?>></td>

which is wrong.

I have to take the end bracket and put it at the front like so:
><? echo "Test"; ?

and the result is:
<td width="109" ><? echo "Test"; ?></td>

which is the result I want.

Hope this helps.

Andy,

Thanks very much for your response and the example! I'll definitely give
this approach a shot and
reply to the group if your suggestion did the trick for me.

Have a great day, my Friend!

Marcus
