I know this seems odd, but on my websites <br> tags do not work normally on Internet Explorer. In Firefox and Opera if I have two <br> tags in a row (<br><br>) then it will seperate the lines with a blank line in between, but in IE it takes 3 <br> tags to do what two would/should normally do.

In places where I have two <br> tags it shows up normally in firefox and opera, but in IE it doesn't put the blank line between. I have to add an additional one in order to get the desired effect, but then the spacing is too much in other browsers. I have never seen/had this problem before and it is really weird because other websites I see that are coded almost identically to the way mine are work fine in all browsers including IE.

Here are the three site URLs (all of which have this problem):

http://www.olsen-fan.net
http://www.bynes-fan.org
http://www.dierks-fan.com

Obviously there is some sort of issue with my coding since all three are doing it. I was hoping some expert may be able to recognize the problem by looking at either the style sheet or the coding...

Another thing I realized is that the break tags work normally on my side navigation bar, but not in the content area...this is really bizarre. Oh and I added a link to this site in the navbar because I always come here for help!

Untill you figure it out, do <!--[if IE]><br><![endif]--> to add an extra br just for IE.

I am going to try and figure it out, but I will definitely do that for now. Thanks so much for that tip...you rock !

You could probably use <br>&nbsp;<br> instead.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I finally figured it out. This: letter-spacing:1px; was causing the issue. That seems odd to me, but when I changed the spacing to 0 the spaces worked normally again! So I ended up changing it to 0.9 at the end and it works fine.

i was gonna say do

<br>
<br>

i get diffretn results if i put the <br><br> together in one line as opposed to two seperate lines. i could never get em to work right so i just live with it. i like shadow's answer though. that seems like a great solution too.
