They don't usually, which doctype declaration are you using?

If it's xhtml 1.0strict, you need a closing tag, like this <br />

In HTML, yes.
Why do browsers ignore the <br> ?
Are you using HTML or XHTML? In XHTML the tag must include a slash, use
<br /> instead.

I'm using:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
I tried using <br /> but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Actually, there is somewhat of a line break- it just doesn't really go
to a new line. Here's the page I'm working on: http://rainbowfamily.info/bookmarks
Near the bottom is "red's links" enclosed in a span with a red border
After that is "new menu name" which is supossed to be on a new line.
There's 2 <br />s which do have some effect- notice the "new menu name"
is lower, but its not to the left lile anew line should be. How do I get
"new menu name" to be on a new line ? I tried putting it all in divs but
that didn't make any difference. The divs refused to go onto new lines.

Don't use that, it's HTML, use <br>

Right. Floats move the content to the left, and the following content
starts at the float's vertical height. But the content cannot overlap the
float, so your content after the float cannot reach the left margin.
Frankly, don't see why the box is floated at all. I'd just remove the
float style. Or, if there's a reason it's floated that I can't see, style
the content you want under the float for sure with clear: left; - but the
first solution is probably what you want.
This is weird HTML, by the way.
You use one h4 but no h1, h2 or h3. And this h4 isn't even a heading.
Things that ARE headings are styled.
You have used almost only inline elements, very few block. All of your
br's would be unnecessary if you used divs. Or better yet, markup
paragraphs between p tags and don't force line breaks.

This is your part of your css:
..filenames{ border-style:solid;fon t-weight:bold; font-size:.75em;
border-color:#C80080;f loat:left;margi n-left:1px;
border-width:1px;paddi ng:2px; width:20%; margin-top:1px;text-
align:center}
First, fix your entire stylesheet. Part of the problem lies there.
Second, remove the float:left; from .filenames

It really does go to a new line, but
you are going about this all wrong.
..Here's the page I'm working on:
http://rainbowfamily.info/bookmarks
You need to wrap those pieces of text in
some logical HTML construct such as a <p>
tag and apply a padding-bottom to get the
spacing you want.
Put such things as '<br><br> ' and browsers
are free to concatenate the two into a single
line break, because that is what the <br>
element is, as opposed to a vertical 'spacer',
which is how you are attempting to use it.

Thanks that seems to have fixed it.
The red bordered filename was originally divs- thus the float:left to
get my list of filenames to go one after the other. But I'll just leave
them as spans and remove the float.
I have to go to the dump and I'll fix it up and upload it when I get back.

I just tried it once and it works fine.

$a = $_POST; # txt_content = This is a<CR><LF>Test
$p = str_replace ("%0D%0A", "<br>", $a);
That is the above code that I am using, however, it is not picking up
the CR/LF from the textarea. I have also attempted singular variations
of the CR/LF combination and even reversed the sequence without success.
Is it possible that it may be encoded differently and if so what is it?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
