in thread Problem creating a function

Well BrowserUk, you would be correct if I was not working with a program that reads from a text file that's formated such that the paramaters are seperated by tabs, and the records by endlines. This program then takes the input from text file and displays to a browser, but I don't want to give you the impression that I'm heading down the wrong path to begin with.

    My point was that I understand the need to convert \n's to <BR>'s prior to display in a browser, but that I didn't understand why you were converting tabs to spaces, as in every browser I am familiar with, neither character will have any effect <clarification type="bad wording">both characters will have exactly the same effect</clarification> on what is rendered. If you were converting the \t's to 1 or more &nbsp;'s for example, it would have made more sense to me.


    Examine what is said, not who speaks.
