Hi,

I am using tinymce for giving text editor the editing options.  
The problem its giving me is that if I press 1 enter, it actually ends  
up with two enters.

Example:

In editor I tpye  
"  
abc  
abccc"

But it ends up as "  
abc

abccc"

Does any one know about this?

You’ve posted to totally the wrong list but to answer your question:  
you need to use shift+return to insert a break. Return actually  
creates a new paragraph which is why you’re seeing an extra line break.

Then you need to style your p tags to have a smaller top and bottom  
border’s/margin’s in your style sheet.  
Hope that helps
