Hi,
I'm using the character entity "nbsp;" for non-breaking space. My question is ... is there any character entity for TAB space? Actually, I'm trying not to use TABLES, DIVS, and SPANS.

Regards
 
Tabs only work within <pre> tags anyway. Otherwise they are just treated like a single space. Tracy Dryden

Code:
<pre>All tabs, spaces and linefeeds inside
pre tags are supposed to be maintained.
&quot;pre&quot; means &quot;preformatted&quot;.
</pre>
Keep in mind that <pre> tags also switch you to a fixed-width font (courier is the default). They have to, otherwise they wouldn't be able to maintain the formatting properly.
