Ok, I'm going a little bananas here.

I want to add whitespace within a ListItem's text property.

I'm using code like: This renders only one space. I have substituted in "   " with the same result. I have also used vbTab to no effect.


Thank you in advance for your suggestions

Unfortunately, the display of whitespace is a limitation of HTML. My only suggestion would have been the  . But if that doesn't work... I'm not sure.

Try to Mix space with an hidden character like Chr(32) + Chr(254)

Well, the whole idea behind the listbox is to display data rows for a reviewer to inspect.

There are potentially a lot of rows, so I wanted something scrollable. I guess I could use a disabled multi-line textbox maybe? Do you have any other ideas for such a display?

Ok, this is odd...

A coworker suggested using the key combo Alt+255 to produce the spaces and then copying it. It works, but I can't identify the kind of space - that is, it's NOT Chr(32)!

I'm not sure I understand its origin, but I know it renders the way I want it. It functions like the text equivalent of a spacer gif. I can create a single one and make it morph into the sizes I require. Go figure.

You could use a datalist/grid and put it into a scrollable div. This would give you a lot more design/layout control than a standard listbox.

The scrollable div is an excellent idea - except for the data format I'm dealing with in this situation.

I gotta remember that combo of a scrollable div combined with a datalist/grid, though.

Thanks a bunch, Peter!
