Perhaps you meen </br> and not <br/>. It gets this output because is not a valid html tag (is interpreted in this maneer by the browser) and the parser will replace "<" with < (lower than) and ">" with > (greather than). Your html page will display <br/> in the end and not the whished carriage return.

nope. <br /> is not incorrect.. It is in fact the correct form [the XML complient version]
In anycase, i tried using <br> also, the same thing happened.
