RE: How to stop [random] inserting a line feed

["JR" <jr@clara.net>]

YES!!!

Tim Shea has solved this one for me, and here is the answer. Almost exactly
as Tim said, but the magic line turned out to be this:

<TD valign="top" align="right">[perl
interpolate=1]$picture='[random]';chop($picture);$picture;[/perl]</TD>

all on one line, to avoid the insertion of extra space. This results in the
.jpg inserted by [random] now being neatly on one line like <TD><IMG
src.....></TD>, so IE4 doesn't see an extra space after the image like you
got previously with the [random] line break

<TD><IMG src.....>
</TD>

which caused this problem of not being able to get two images up against
each other with no space between them.

If anyone wnats to know why this is of any use, it's because I was asked to
place a random image on the right of each page, with a neat red line
immediately under it, and against it, across the page width (got to please
the graphics design team). And I couldn't, until now, get rid of this single
space between the image and the line.

Thanks Tim!!!!
