Hello again,
Does anyone know how to add multiple whitespace characters to a text element in JAvscript?
E.g.,
// get a <p> tag
var p = document.getElemenById("para1");

//this only adds 1 space.
p.appendChild(document.createTextNode(" "));

// this adds literal "&nbsp;&nbsp;"
p.appendChild(document.createTextNode("&nbsp;&nbsp ;"));

as does #160;

I'm sure this has an easy solution but it doesn't appear to be in my "Beginning Javsscript" book.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Richard

Unless you're using a <pre> tag, multiple spaces get collapsed into one space by all browsers in line with the HTML specification.

Try adjusting the innerHTML instead of creating a text node:
