[WSG] preserve whitespace
Hi, !-- Happy Holidays one and all! -- I have an HTML page and I want to (well my client wants me to) preserve leading blanks in the value of a table data cell. I could use pre /pre around the data. Or I could use an nbsp; for each leading blank. Any others? What is the standard way to do it? Cheers, Simon *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Re: [WSG] preserve whitespace
The standard way is to use paddings (if your HTML page really contains table data) or not to use tables for layout purpose at all. - Konstantin Efimov http://webstandards.org.ru - Original Message - From: Simon Cockayne To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 8:09 PM Subject: [WSG] preserve whitespace Hi, !-- Happy Holidays one and all! -- I have an HTML page and I want to (well my client wants me to) preserve leading blanks in the value of a table data cell.

Re: [WSG] Comment mark
For an HTML comment, you should use !-- ... -- (no ! in the closing tag). The reason it worked in Firefox is that it interprets *any* instance of -- as a closing comment tag. As far as I know, all other browsers will wait until they get the standard --. Firefox gets it right since these (--) are the comment delimeters. ! and are markup declaration delimiters. True, although I see it as one of those times that it's right in the strict technical sense rather than a practical sense :) In general usage I think it's reasonable to expect the closing delimiter. cheers, Ben -- --- http://weblog.200ok.com.au/ --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] Comment mark
Ultimately IE is right in that you can never tell a client their site doesn't work in IE but it fits the written technical standards. A client will always prefer a non web standard site that works in IE to one that is technically correct but errors out in the worlds most popular browser.
