Inline DIVs

This may not be exactly what they are called, but I recently had some people help me set up a CSS notation that would enable me to display an image to the right of a set of text when you hover over the text. This was done using div classes. The problem is that these are being housed within a line of text in the document that is encased in an <h4> tag.

It may not be the <h4> tag's fault as I think it's a DIV issue, but in essence, the DIV is causing extra lines after the </h4> tag closes than normal. Here's a link to a page with the specific issue:

The first item for Jack Patrick is how it's supposed to display when there's no [Pictured] link. The third item down for Bob Merrill is how it's displaying with the [Pictured] hover div. Notice how the space under the name and [Pictured] has a taller set of blank space than the other? That's what I'm trying to eliminate. Is there something I add to cause the div not to add blank space beneath?

This might be the problem

<p></span></h4>

You dont have a closing paragraph " </p> " all the way down the page from where your layout breaks.

strange. shouldn't be a <p> tag in there at all. I even went back to look at my code that's in the post and there's not a <p> tag. Would wordpress be adding one somewhere?

Must be because if you look at your source code its very much there. And it isnt closing the paragraph tag.

Thanks for the catch. I've now discovered that Wordpress is adding all manners of open-ended paragraph tags and never closing them automatically, but if I take out the option to enable that, I have to add <br /> tags manually, which is a bit of a pain when I have thousands of posts already out there.

I've posted a question on their forums hoping they can tell me how to switch it from adding <p> tags to adding <br /> tags and also how to get it not to add tags in the middle of continuous lines of code.

Well, I sort of fixed my own problem. I changed the div to a span in the stylesheet and the post and it works correctly. It appears wordpress not only adds <p>'s to start line breaks, but it also adds it after a </div> inside a post. Annoying still that they are open and never closed, but I can live with it until they can fix it otherwise.
