Missing spaces in URLs

2011-12-13 Thread Brian Howlett
Hi

Currently using r13267 (10 Dec 2011 01:15).

I've seen this in a few web sites, just highlighted in a link posted 
in one of the CSA newsgroups to http://www.adventurecycling.org/

When you have a link such as this:

Some texthttp://someurl"; TARGET="_blank"> Link text

the space before "Link text" does not render in Netsurf, so you get 
the text before the link running straight in to the link text.

I don't know if this is incorrect syntax - in most cases the space 
comes before the link and of course that renders OK.

I've had a look and couldn't see it on the Bug Tracker - thought I'd 
raise it here first in case it isn't an actual bug...

I took a course in speed waiting. Now I can wait an hour in just
ten minutes...

The same thing can happen following an image tag - the text will be 
hard up against the image even though there should be a space. On the 
other hand there are cases where there is no white space and NetSurf 
can wrap a word over two lines at a tag e.g. 1st can get 
split after the 1. I probably raised a bug report in the dim and 
distant past.

I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
