Is the : supposed to be in align=:"left" ?
Did you mean to leave off the closing TR and TD tags?

I use tables a lot, to align text, not the dumbass table generated by front
page that are composed of emspaces and nobreak spaces
(am going to leave off the leading s of each line so this does not show
as
html, parts of my last post got rendered, oops)

html
body bgcolor="#eeeeee"
table width="100%"
Caption="This weeks totals"
!--repeat four lines below for each person--
TR
TD width="135" align="right"Name
TD width="135" align="right"Count
TD width="*" align=:"left"Comments (rest of page)
!--repeat four lines above for each person--
/table
/body

I like a free notepad replacement called notepad2, unlimited file size
like
wordpad & changes the color of command syntax words so its easy to see if
you left out any closing brackets or quotes. and cut the text out of
incoming mails, paste them into notepad2 and reformat them, becuase I use
the same table a lot, really a lot, I have a template & cut n paste

Hi AlmostBob,

Thank you for your elaborate explanation.
Would it be advisable then to compose my tests first is, say, Wordpad adn
copy that into the mail that I want ot forward? Will that way guard
against
unwanted nbsp-spaces? I would be grateful if you could suggest another
way,
if this is not the easiest way to get rid of these nbsp-spaces in my
texts!
Thank you in advance!

The HTML generator in OE attempts to accommodate human typing.
html treats leading spaces and trailing spaces as non existent
and multiple spaces as a single space. tabs and multiple spaces must be
created from html entities
{space}d would display as d. when text is entered.
the received message would not match the senders displayed preview if
sent
as typed, the generator inserts a no-break space or em-space
appropriate to the text typed .
unfortunately if you type {space}{space}{space} at least 2 of them must
be
coded as no-break space or the rendered html at the receiver would be
only
one space.
and then later go back and edit out one or more spaces, or edit the
text
so
that leading spaces are removed, the no-break space may remain.
creating
a
received image that does not match the senders version.
The same problem the generator was supposed to remedy
is useful to keep telephone numbers on one line
(999) 999 9999 will always display on a single line

I have a question about spaces typed in HTML-mode in OE (6.00.2600.00
/ XP
Home 2002 SP2). At numerous places my text appears to contain normal
spaces
but also 'locked spaces' (transcripted in HTML as 'ampersand-nbsp;'),
which
influence the preferred layout in a negative manner. I don't know
how
and
when these 'ampersand-nbsp;'s appear in my text, but I don't want
them. I
want normal spaces that allow text to be broken to the next line.
How
can
I
avoide these locked spaces arrive in my text?
TIA
