Hi,

I try to display blanks inside cfoutput tag.
For example , my database record contains 10 connected blanks.
But when I display this record the blanks are reduced to one.
I try to use #HTMLCodeFormat(string_with_blanks)# , but then the font is changed to courier.
Does anybody know a better solution to display all blanks?

regards
Claudia

    Okay, I use the replace() function and it works.
    Thanks!

    HTMLCodeFormat() does not change the font to courier. You can use any font you want.
    HTMLCodeFormat () DOES wrap the output in <pre> tags -- which force fixed width formating. This is what you need to display space/tab formatted text.

    Otherwise, use   as jdeline suggests.

    Hi Dan,
    for example my datarecord looks like
    <cfset string=" Teststring with many blanks">

    <cfoutput>#string#</cfoutput>
    shows string as:

    Teststring with many blanks

    The blanks between the words "with" and "many" are not shown.

    What's a connected blank?
    What do you want displayed exactly?
