Don't forget, HTML's default ++ character set is Latin-1, not ASCII. Their behaviour is not described by Wilbur, but the HTML 3.0 description says that a non-breaking space should behave as normal space, with the exception of breaking a line at that point. Hence, "&nbps;&nbps;" should display as " " (one space). It would have been nice if HTML 3.2 at least described the wanted behaviour. Abigail -- <URL: http://www.edbo.com/abigail/>
