inserting no break space in DOM textnode 1

[Steviebone]

How do u insert a literal such as   in a DOM textnode using javascript?

In this code:

var sp1_sup = document.createElement("sup");
var sp1_suffix = document.createTextNode(" (" + zno + ")" );
sp1_sup.appendChild(sp1_suffix );

the literal string is printed.. how do I get the textnode to recognize the no break space

I'm no expert when it comes to the XML DOM, but can you just set the innerHTML property of sp1_sup or use the insertAdjacentHTML method?

You can use your method if you first convert the entity into octal (for some reason):

var sp1_suffix = document.createTextNode("[!]\u00a0;[/!](" + zno + ")" );

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

you could also write it out like this

document.write(" ");

var sp1_suffix = document.createTextNode(" (" + zno + ")" );

Hmm I did it in good ol IE6, I'll take a look and see what it does in FF.

Strange, this is exactly what I have:

<script type="text/javascript">
   document.write("&#38;&#35;160;");
</script>

in a DOCTYPE and it works for me, even in FF.

hahaha, nevermind, I'm making the literal be printed. not the space DUH, but that's what I was going for. Too bad that wasn't the answer to the question that was asked.

Here we go, I knew I'd find another way:

var sp1_suffix = document.createTextNode(String.fromCharCode(160) + "(HELEEO)" );

muchas gracias seniors!

wow, never seen such quick response... it is much appreciated

var sp1_suffix = document.createTextNode(String.fromCharCode(160)+"(" + zno + ")" );

seemed to to do the trick... haven't tested it thoroughly in every browser yet tho...

thanks monsake!
