[jQuery] Re: problem with spaces between html elements in ie

2007-09-14 Thread mrsheep 

i got it solved, it wasn't a html problem (creating the same tagcloud
statically worked without problems).
it was probably a jquery bug related to space trimming, i was using
jquery 1.1.3.1, upgrading to 1.2 got it solved.
thanks to all.

yes, i tried that but i need to have breakable spaces so that the
text jumps to the next line if there is no enough horizontal space in
the div.

This is a shot in the dark, but have you tried using multiple spaces?
It might be that the browser engine then collapses those into a single
space. Another kludge might be to use \n instead of a pure space. As a
rule, browsers will collapse runs of whitespace to a single space when
rendering HTML, but i've never heard of a browser collapsing a single
whitespace into nothing (but hey... it's MSIE...).

This the unicode for space \u00A0, so maybe:

  $(#tagcloud).append(newTag).append(\u00A0);

document.write('ben\u00A0sterling'); gives me ben sterling, so I can only
assume the above would work.
