reston_ray	posted on December 22, 2000 09:20:13 PM I see it all the time. Usually in emails and most recently in copies of my emails returned with replies to my message. What happens and why to cause &nbsp. Should I do anything ?
morgantown	posted on December 22, 2000 09:31:41 PM I believe nbsp; is a space in HTML language. I don't think you have anything to worry about. Perhaps you are reading HTML formatted eMail in plain text?
goodvibrations	posted on December 22, 2000 09:33:38 PM It's a nonbreaking space. You will generally see it when people use HTML email and use two spaces after a period instead of one, or two or more spaces in other areas.
Wedgewood	posted on December 23, 2000 09:46:02 AM   is the html command to add an extra space for formatting purposes, as others have pointed out here. You can only put one space in a line of text using the space bar. If you need an extra space then the above command is used. Another handy html command is © If you use this in the description box on an eBay listing it makes the copyright symbol show up. eg., ©1950 will show up with a C in a small circle in front of the date. Does anyone know the command for the R as in registered trademark in a circle?
schoolauction	posted on December 23, 2000 09:56:45 AM Dear Wedge, The registered mark can be done on of 2 ways 1) ® or 2) &#174 Good luck!

Wedgewood	posted on December 23, 2000 08:06:33 PM Dear School: Thanks for the info! I thought it would be something like that! Unknown: I think you're onto something. And here I was thinking the aliens were trying to communicate with me through the fillings in my teeth!
gboy	posted on December 23, 2000 09:30:29 PM True story...A bidder sent my friend an e-mail and it contained a few of those "&nbsp". My friend thought it was an acronym (like LOL or ROFL). After a few minutes she (incorrectly) figured out that it meant "and, no bulls**t please"!
