Drop List.Text to include  

Tim
Hi,

I am trying to load up a drop list with semi aligned columns like so:

[Item 1 Something]
Item 2 Something Else

etc.

To do so, I have tried to fill the Text valus of ListItems like so:

dim li as new ListItem

li.Text = "Item 1" & StrDup(14, " ") & "Something"

along with variations using encoding....

However, in the web browser, the & is being replaced with &

Any ideas please?

Thanks Scott, but unfortunately this isn't working.
This in code:
Server.HTMLEnco de("Item 1 Something")
yields this in the web browser html source
"Item 1 Something"
which appears as
"Item 1 Something"

- the multiple spaces just "compress". I don't seem to be able to get the
necessary &nbsp; sequences going through.

There is an error in my post below I say strdup(n, "&nbsp;") when it should
be MyDup(n, "&nbsp; ")
- MyDup duplicates the string sequence, StrDup seems only to duplicate the
first character.

So, I am no closer...

In XHTML the entity nbsp stands for   A normal space like " " is also displayed as an normal space, but multiple spaces like " " are interpreted as 1 space in the xhtml page. So there comes the &nbsp; in handy: with "&nbsp;&nbsp;" you have two spaces. So with the nbsp entity you can create multiple spaces (in the display). Now i have an xml file with &nbsp; entities, i put it in an xsl-file that know xhtml entities.
