Why do CONTROLS end with an EXTRA line-break/space????

[michael]

On my ASP.NET pages, it seems that _after_ any web or user control - an
extra (small) line break or space is inserted automatically right after the
Control. This is unwanted since it messes up vertical alignment preventing
me of having things "touch" each other. I have tried surrounding the
controls in a DIV tag with padding set to 0 but this still does not help.

What must I do to prevent this line-break or space to happen after a
web/user control?

Thanks in advance

Try placing your a controls inside a html table with cellspacing=0 and cellpadding=0

Already tried that as well as using a style-sheet

Any other ideas???

The problem is that asp.net inserts a line break in th HTML after the control. I don't mean a <br> tag but a simple line return ni the text of th html.

Browsers interpret this line as a space, so they include a text space.

SOLUTION: Set the font size of that area to zero. That way even though the browser will insert a space, it will measure 0 pixels.
