Dreamweaver wont let me put multiple spaces together in a cell. Is there a way to turn this "feature off".

I want to center two items in a cell with spaces in between those items.
 
you can set the word spacing property in css, create a style for the table cell, then do something like this :

td.StyleForThisCell
{
word-spacing: 30px
}

and use whatever word spacing you want...then you don't need to use spaces...
 
So you mean.. if wanna put two spaces together.. i gotta create a style? I thought dreamweaver is suppose to be better than FP?
 
Er... it does it that way because it <italic> is </italic> better...total control, in yr hands, y'know?

Thanks for your help... but i found out all I need to do is CONTROL/SHIFT/SPACE ... to create a nbsp

I knew there had to be a simple way.
 
Beware that all of your careful spacing can be turned to crud if the user changes the font size settings in their browser. You will also notice a distinct diference in your design between different platforms and browsers.

CSS gives you the most control.

You may also want to create s split cell to handle the info that needs to sit side by side.

If the two items are graphics, consider creating a 1x1 pixel transparent GIF that you can size to the proper width to separate the items.
 
Kjonnnn,

There is a way to turn this &quot;feature off&quot; - Edit > Preferences... > General > check Allow Multiple Consecutive Spaces.
Good Luck! :)
 
Thanks I just wanted to do in one instance 3 spaces.
