Note that HTML ignores repeating spaces. If you want to force HTML to display a space, you should use   to make a non-breaking space show up. You can write multiple  's in a row to get multiple spaces to show up. If your database field has multiple spaces in it you can do this

newvalue = replace(oldvalue," "," &quot

to convert spaces to non-breaking spaces. There is no tag in HTML for a tab, but you can convert a tab character into multiple  's using the replace function as well.

Hope that helps. Harold Blackorby
