Whether copying comes from the DOM or the final presentation is left up to the UA. If it comes from the presentation, you'll get no spaces, you'll just get a text mode representation of the screen. If it comes from the DOM, you'll get all the original spaces and line breaks. -- Ian Hickson )\._.,--....,'``. fL "meow" /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. http://index.hixie.ch/ `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
