Spaces and/or tabs

**danielsan** · Dec 3rd, 2002, 03:17 AM

What I wish to know might be simple. What are the html codes for spaces and tabs? I have a program that converst text into html. but it doesn't convert present spaces and tabs.

And a second question would be: which code is the tab ASCII code? Can't seem to find that one either.

Thank you for the answer.

Regards,

danielsan

Code:

Horizontal tab = &amp;#009;
Space = &amp;#032;
ASCII Tab as above 9 ( I think)

edit : well it only took three attempts to get that right

although the spaces work nicely, the tabs don't. Does this have anything to do with the browser element being embedded?

or & nbsp; (altogether - no space)

is a space too

Is there a difference between a space and a non-breaking space?

oh, and danielsan I don't know why the tab ain't working

&nbsp is the same as if you just pushed the space bar.

On a normal space, it can be used to wrap text at the space. A non-breaking space keeps the space on the same line as the surrounding text.
