hi Mike
thnx for ur help. Did u try rendering XML without R/W rules?
what resources did you use to learn to write R/W rule. As of now i just have
access to the online manuals shipped along with frame.
Also, which book do you think is good to learn XSLT? Please guide me on this
front.
Thanx

If the HTML is XHTML (and well-formed), you could use FrameScript 4 and

How about using Ctrl+Alt+Space? I think two of those together equals an
em-space, kinda.
Or two non-breaking spaces next to each other.
Are you using a regularly spaced font like courier (blanking on the real
name)? It's a lot easier to see spaces then.
