I was testing using a plain old HTML document handwritten.
Wasn't messing with anything inside of VB. The things you've
stated indicate that the code written to the HTML document
through VB must have changed what was saved to the
document.

I just hand-typed the following HTML document and added
the two lines that Larry was having a problem with and thus
I couldn't duplicate the HTML issue he had. It's plain ASCII
text, no tricks with the ALT and Numeric keypad. <g>

If you copy and the paste the code below and to a .htm file,
you won't see the problem Larry stated. So, you'll have to
look at the HTML document that VB wrote and compare
the two line by line. There has to be something different.

<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>

<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="address2"/><xsl:text>&#160;</xsl:text></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="address2"/>&#160;</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

</body>
</html>

I could have missed something. Was skimming over things when I
noticed Larry was talking about white-space inside an HTML
document, and I jumped in on that. I've not been following the
details of how VB writes the documents into an HTML format.

Any HTML coding that I need to do is all handcoded, making
use of CSS if needed. I can only guess at what XSL is, it
sounds like CSS but obviously there is something different.

Another thing for me to have to learn ? Or can I get CSS to
do what needs to be done?

I was able to get it to show up, like Larry did.  It happened when I
saved the output HTML with the DOM again (xdoOutput).  When I saved it
directly to disk with the Stream object, it went away.  It appears that
the parser was "reinterpretting" the character when it saved it to disk.
Seeing it happen and knowing why are two different things, though.  I
guess I give up too easily.  ;-)
