Nope. Ignore this. The space is put there by browser.
This is a HTML snippet from my application:
Correct answers:
0 / 6<br /><br />
You have failed to pass the final test.
<a href="/module/controller/course/id/5" class="accessible-link">
Click here
</a>
to return to the training.
As you can see, there is a single space after the </a> closing tag. Yet in the browser the space is added inside the anchor. So it looks like this:
This is the PHP code which produces the HTML:
<?php if (isset($this->correctAnswersCount) && isset($this->answersCount)): ?>
<?php echo Zend_Registry::get('translate')->_('Počet správnych odpovedí'); ?>:
<?php echo ToHtml($this->correctAnswersCount); ?> / <?php echo ToHtml($this->answersCount); ?><br /><br />
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo Zend_Registry::get('translate')->_('Záverečný test sa vám nepodarilo úspešne absolvovať.'), "\n"; ?>
<a href="<?php echo ToHtml($this->backToCourseUri); ?>" class="accessible-link">
<?php echo Zend_Registry::get('translate')->_('Kliknite'), "\n"; ?>
</a>
<?php echo Zend_Registry::get('translate')->_('pre návrat do kurzu.'), "\n"; ?>
I am completely baffled by this and cannot figure out what's causing this even though I've been staring into the code for 30 minutes now.
This is a relevant part from the translation file:
'Kliknite' => 'Click here',
As you can see, there should be no space added by Zend_Translate.
Change this:
<a href="<?php echo ToHtml($this->backToCourseUri); ?>" class="accessible-link">
<?php echo Zend_Registry::get('translate')->_('Kliknite'), "\n"; ?>
</a>
Into this:
<a href="<?php echo ToHtml($this->backToCourseUri); ?>" class="accessible-link">
<?php echo Zend_Registry::get('translate')->_('Kliknite'), "\n"; ?></a>
The </a>
should be in the same line after the <?php echo Zend_Registry::get('translate')->_('Kliknite'), "\n"; ?>
aka Click Here
EDIT:
The new line and the spaces after it renders like 1 space that is still inside de <a></a>
tags, that is where the blank space is coming from.
EDIT2:
For the record I also don't like the closing tag to be next to the content instead of a being in a new line but that's how it has to be done in order to work correctly.
I like good formatted code and I always look for a autoformat command in my IDE.
But at least for example in Visual Studio when you hit Ctrl + K, Ctrl + D (the Format Document shorcut) the closing tags like the </a>
are not automatically moved to a new line for this exact reason: that it should not break the way it looks before the auto format.
Close the 'a' tag directly after the next, without a newline, like this:
<a href="/module/controller/course/id/5" class="accessible-link">Click here</a>
