loop inserting line break

Hi,

I’ve looked for solutions to this, but maybe not in the right places. If anyone has any ideas, please enlighten.

Here is the problem. WordPress automatically inserts a line break before the paragraph tag in the following example.

Here is the php:

<?php query_posts("cat=6&order=ASC"); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="entry">
<?php the_content(''); ?>
</div>
<p class="right"><?php edit_post_link('Edit'); ?></p>
</div> <!-- end div "post" -->
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<h2>Not Found</h2>
<p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.</p>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Here is the html rendering:

<div class="post" id="post-27">
<h2>Mission Statement</h2>
<div class="entry">
<br/><p>Text goes here.</p>
</div>
<p class="right"><a href="#" title="Edit post">Edit</a></p>
</div> <!-- end div "post" -->

I don’t understand why that <br/> is appearing in front of the paragraph tags. Any help would be high appreciated.

Thanks!
