like that to be preserved....


Yes, the line break is not from htp, but from the date command. If you want
it to be removed, you can use execute=3D"echo -n `date`" or execute=3D"date=
 |
perl -pe chomp"  (at least if "echo -n" or perl is supported).  I do not
think that htp should remove line breaks that external programs produced.

Michael answered the other issues accurately, so I do not have to comment o=
n
them :)
