HTML display different in IE and Firefox

I have the following in my Master page

Company name<BR>
INCOME STATEMENT<BR>
As Of December 31, 2008<BR>
Object Code Detail-Include PY and Budget<BR>
Report Date: Mar 13, 2009 7:26 AM

In IE the display is actually double spaced.
Company name

INCOME STATEMENT

Object Code Detail-Include PY and Budget

In Firefox the display is good:
Company name
INCOME STATEMENT
As Of December 31, 2008
Object Code Detail-Include PY and Budget
Report Date: Mar 13, 2009 7:26 AM

Any ideas as to how to get IE to display the text as single spaced or is this something the end user will just have to deal with as it is a browser issue?

Hi cmrdjr,

I would assume this is probably a browser issue, but what version of BIRT are you using? I'll try it out in your version (if I have it) and a couple others.

I have BIRT 2.3 and 2.3.1 and the result is the same. I have Firefox 3.0.7 and IE 7.

Thanks for any insight you might have for this issue.

Try using a div tag or a table
¿Is the HTML code arriving the browsers the same way you have coded it?

cmrdjr

When I view source from a right click the source does not include this information so I cannot tell exactly what is being seen by the browser. I am not familiar with <DIV> tags. Can you give me a working example of using a <DIV> tag with the master page in BIRT?

I think it got it wrong...
What did you excatly put into you master page?
Did you added a label or whatever and added that?
Could you please take a picture of your master page design and upload it to i.e. tinypic.com and copy it to here so I can give you further help?

Thanks
