How to avoid space trimming in HTML

[Matsam]

Hi,

I have a search page in which I take data from a recordset. Some data which is retrieved may have more than one space between 2 words. But in my result page, HTML is truncating those spaces into single space and displays the result. But I need it as it is in the database. Is there any way similar to &nbsp which can be applied to this situation? My code is as follows:

<TD nowrap borderColor=mar oon width="180"><FO NT size=3><%=rs(0) %></FONT></TD>
in which rs(0) is the field containing spaces.

Plz help me..

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You shall use the following code to allow spaces while accessing the DB.

Response.Write "<PRE><font face=monospace size=10>" & Rs.Fields(0) & "</font></PRE>"

Let me know for any other queries . . .

Hi,

Thanks for your help. But I'm sorry, my problem still remains open...
Actually I want to take records from a table and populate it into a combo box. The <PRE> tag is not working in this case.. Other situations it is ok. Following is my code:

<SELECT id=select4 style="WIDTH: 256px; HEIGHT: 22px"
name=lstSubject >
<% do while not rs3.EOF %>
<OPTION > <PRE> <%=rs3(0) %> </PRE> </OPTION>

<% rs3.MoveNext
loop
rs3.close %>

</SELECT>

where rs3 is my recordset.

Here nothing happens on including <PRE> tag.

Pls help..

Thanks again

Hi Mastam,

Use the following code

<Select>
<%
While Not Rs.EOF
Txt = Replace(rs.Fiel ds(0)," ", "&nbsp;")

%>
<option value="<%=Txt%> "><%= Txt %></option>
<%
Rs.MoveNext
wend
%>

</Select>

Let me know for any other queries.
