I have a million of these in my html:  

I believe they are from using the space bar will in wysiwyg mode. Is there a problem with these, and if so, is there a quicker way to remove them other than going through the html line by line?

Hi Smuck:

Strictly speaking, having a lot of non-breaking spaces in the HTML of your web site isn't a good thing because it muddles up your mark-up. (You should always be striving for the simplest, cleanest, semantic mark-up possible. Ideally, the spacing of your content should be controlled through CSS. But in the real world, those spaces aren't actually hurting your site, (at least not that I know of.) Users never see them and G ignores them.

The only way I've found to replace a bunch of non-breaking spaces from a block of code is to copy the code into a text editor that has a search & replace function. (But not MS Word!) Search for   and replace them all with nothing. Then copy/paste the new, sleek code back into wherever it came from.

And here's that missing parenthesis... )

Use it as you see fit.

One? On the page I am currently working on, I have 100, or so. I wonder if it is because I am using a CMS. What do you use to post content?

Can't you replace a whole line of those things with this?

If your text needs to have a line break

like this.?

I use Dreamweaver.

If you use the WYSIWYG in HTML mode instead, your text will look something like:


<p>Smuck knows real estate best.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</P>
<p>He is the master!</p>

It will read:

Smuck knows real estate best.

He is the master!

After "best." you could place "&nbsp;" over and over until the next word or use <p>&nbsp;</p>.

I think it means start paragraph, the only thing in the paragraph are spaces, end paragraph.

I could be wrong.

so instead of all of those spaces you can skip a whole line worth of them with the other code.

If you have twoblank lines you can use it twice and so on.
I think
