Browsers will remove white space by default. For force multiple spaces us &nbsp but be warned that browsers use proportional fonts and so 5 spaces will not be equal width with 5 characters.

You would going to need to scan and replace all blanks in field_name with &nbsp (yes, one blank character will need to become 5 characters in the field_name)

I am new to CGIDEV2 and have gotten a few programs up and running quickly.
Kudo's to Giovanni and company.



However, I have a new problem. The 1 field has alpha numeric data that is right justified example __name. When the HTML gets the value, it strips all the leading blanks displaying name__.



How do I preserver the leading blanks?



I tried %20/%field_name%/ and /%%20field_name%/ which produced the wrong results.



TIA
