does not render properly with document.createTextNode

[Sebarry]

Hi,

I'm having trouble creating a blank table row in Javascript using document.create Element( ' ' ). When I look at the generated source it has intrepreted it as

<td>&amp;nbsp;</td>

. What do I need to do? I've tried using single quotes, double quotes and backslash.

Thanks,

Sean

  is not an element.

Do you want something like:
[HTML]<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>[/HTML]

[Sebarry]

Yes that's exactly what I want.

&nbsp; is not an element.

Do you want something like:
[HTML]<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>[/HTML]

Hi,

I was being a complete hipster doffus with the post because that's what I was doing anyway. What I've got is:

row = document.createElement( "tr" );
column = document.createElement( "td" );
var columnText = document.createTextNode(' ');
column.appendChild( columnText );
row.appendChild( column );
	
var theTable = document.getElementById('articleContents');
theTable.tBodies[0].appendChild(row);

Cheers,

Sean

So you had it working all along? Is there only one column in your table?

[Sebarry]

No it still doesn't work. When I supply

'&nbsp'

to createTextNode in the generated source it's shown as

<td>&amp;nbsp;</td>

Ah right, I see what you mean now. I've changed the thread title accordingly.

Try using unicode, e.g. "\u00a0".
