[html-formfu] Issue with a text label

[George Hrysanthopoulos]

Adam,

If you do decide to filter through tidy,

I would suggest this code snippet:

     my $tidy = HTML::Tidy->new( {
                                 "tidy_mark" => 0,
                                 "indent" => "auto",
                                 "indent-spaces" => 4,
                                 "preserve-entities" => "yes",
                             } );

Otherwise your IE users will not like you very much :)

Why does MS have to make our life so much more difficult?

-George

I don't really have a good answer as to why we don't put it through HTML::Tidy, but my first guess would be performance, and the fact that messy html does affect rendering, it just looks ugly to people that actually know how to view source ;)
