Strange Character Being Displayed

[klycette]

I'm not sure if this is really a php question, but I'm going to give it a shot and ask anyway. My search results page allows users to click on a link which brings them the specifics of whatever item they clicked. The detials are brought back in simple rows, one row holding the heading, written in html, the next row the info for that heading, brought back from the database and displayed using echo, and then one blank row and then the next header, etc.

My problem is that on only some of the empty rows, there's what appears to be a short underscore, about 1/3 - 1/2 the width of a standard underscore. The strange this is that there's no code cooresponding to it, either in html or php. Has anyone seen this before?

Post your code. I'd bet 1 US Dollar that the character is embedded in your code.

Well, you owe me a dollar....sort of.

I was looking at my code and noticed that I had a css style associated with some of the blank rows. When the css style wasn't assigned to them or when it was assigned, but was plain, black text, there was no problem. In all of the rows that the character appeared, however, the css style was one that was bolded and set to a different color.

I have no idea why this would make a difference, but when I took out the css style, the characters were gone. So I guess it was indirectly embedded in my code, but not in any true sense.

In this case I would say you owe me the dollar.
