 * Hello everyone.
 * I need some help with a problem because I have tried all the solutions I could
   think of and nothing seems to work.
 * What I need is a plugin/filter which replaces lines like these:
    `<td width="
   1" height="24" valign="top"> </td>` with: `<td width="1" height="24" valign="
   top"></td>` removing the space between the tags.
 * I have coded the following PHP code, but it simply doesn’t work.
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Plugin Name: MyFilter
       */
   
       function my_filter($text)
       {
       $text = str_replace('> </td>', '></td>', $text);
       return $text;
       }
   
       add_filter('the_content', 'my_filter');
       ?>
       ```
   
 * I have tried with a simpel “substr_count” call, but that can neather find any
   linies in the content provided by WordPress – and I know it’s there, because 
   I can see it in the source in my browser.
 * I have tried to copy the HTML code from the WordPress page created with the visuel
   editor into a stand-a-lone PHP file and used the above function, which works 
   as it should.
 * I hope that somebody can see the error and help me with a solution.
 * In advance, thanks
 * Best regards
    Morten Johansen
