Guest Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I did an MSAR (Massive Search And Replace) on the entity and replaced it with an empty space. Would I break a lot of the osC formatting? There's seems to be a lot of non-breaking spaces intersparsed throughout the osC programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 The character does several things: 1. Forces two things touched by it to be *stuck* together. Great for locking words or numbers/words together. Example: November 3, 1955 this will never allow that text to break on two lines. 2. Forces more than one space to appear as two spaces made by a spacebar are 1 space in HTML (try 10 spacebars and note you get 1 space on screen) Hence ... global replace is a bad idea ... 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Well, I know what it does HTML-wise. I'm trying to figure out what would happen if I did it to the osC code. What might be broken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Basically the same thing ... php is creating HTML output as well as managing the actions of one page to the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
