I am almost ashamed to ask this...but how do you make a space in HTML? Just a normal space between words. I am trying to make a three column table, but with frames and other obstacles it is becoming a nuisance. So I want to make it with basic lines of text, but when I try to separate words in the end they snap back together. Can someone please lend me some insight? I am beginning to become frustrated. :confused:

Would you mind posting a link to your page? We could certainly provide more insight that way.

To type a space in HTML... you only have to type a space. However, it will not display more than one space regardless of how many you type as browsers ignore additional whitespace. To force a space you can use the non-breaking space character [&nbsp;], but it's meant to be used to prevent lines from wrapping, not making lots of spaces. You can also enclose your text in a preformatted text element (<pre></pre>), but there are far easier more reliable ways to lay out a table than using lots of spaces. Using tables, for instance...

(& n b s p) - That's what I forgot. I knew that there was somethign like that. I looked all over and couldn't find it. :blush: I know it's not the best way, but I am not exactly an HTML genius. It's crude, but it should work. Thank you.
