Dave: What's interesting, is that I do NOT use the feature. However, when
I installed FP2003 on my new machine and published my webs from 2000 off the
old machine, all the code was in a single line in FP2003. Go figure.

| I agree. It sounds like a nice feature but I'm leery about what it might
do
| to the way I have my code organized. The other problem is if you choose
to
| remove all whitespace then when you go back to look at your code to make a
| change, instead of it all being indented and easy to read, ex:
|
| <table>
| <tr>
| <td></td>
| </tr>
| </table>
|
| now it's all on one line and you have to scroll over to the right to find
| what you're looking for. Like Jim, I don't think the space gain is that
| much of a big deal. Like Mike said, optimizing your images will gain you
| more.
