I may be hitting a very narrow audience with this, but I am pulling in
screenfuls of data from a mainframe 3270 screen with a 3rd-party vendor
class. It reads a block of the screen (15rows x 80columns) and parses it
into Vector elements - should be 15 total. The method is called from the
servlet which is called by a form which passes in 4 parameters. The result
of the servlet is an html page which displays a list of up to 15 college
classes. (There is usually more than one 3270 screen of data but I have not
figured out how to get the next ones, yet.)
Each element has the full 80 characters of each row properly spaced, but
when I wrap <PRE></PRE> tags around the elements (in any order,) some of the
character sets within the element are bunched together on the web display.
The viewed source shows the correct spacing.
The placement of the PRE tags did eliminate the extra line, but not the
'crunching' of characters.
Thanks

I beg to differ. The first example will have a blank line between the two
lines:
element1
element2
While the second will not:
element1
element2
The problem might be that you need to manually insert spaces for the "soft
line breaks" in your source. If your editor automatically wraps each line,
the spot where the wrap occurs will not be interpreted correctly by the
browser when the file is sent for display.
I missed how you aree populating the vector. Are you reading in a file? I
can't explain it correctly, but "hard breaks" or "hard returns" are
interpreted as spaces, but the automatically inserted line breaks are not
understood and are ignored by the browser and therefore the text at those
points have no spaces between them.

Does each element appear in <PRE> tags? IE, is it:
<PRE>element 1</PRE>
<PRE>element 2</PRE>
or
<PRE>
element 1
element 2
</PRE>
The first will behave like you describe. The second will
probably be what you want.
Generally, if the source is what you'd expect, but the display
isn't, it's an HTML error.
