Writing a form, several questions have got a list of checkboxes, with
associated descriptions (mostly one word), all on a line.
Eg:
Describe yourself: []Fat []Hairy []Ugly []Wears glasses.
I want to prevent the description word(s) from being separated from
their box (represented here as "[]"). I want to insert some spacing
between items, so that it's clear the third box means ugly, not hairy -
I've used " &nbs p;", between items (as well as a normal space
and/or carriage return, and " " in multiword descriptions.
Works in ie, but moz seems disinclined to break at the 'normal space'
before the checkbox, preferring to break after the checkbox - exactly
where I don't want it.
I have a suspicion that normal whitespace adjacent to is being
(correctly?) ignored. I tried inserting zero-width spaces (#&x200b;),
but that didn't help.
Can anyone tell me the 'right' way to do this (either html or css) ?
Thanks,
Chris

Well, don't do that.
What was the point of posting to one group (.html) and setting
followups to another (.stylesheets)? You seem to have generated two
independent threads, since people have posted responses to both groups.
I'm trying to fix what I can by crossposting and setting followups
to .html only.
The short answer is: put one field along with its label on one line.
Problem solved. Or, rather, not created in the first place. And you
avoid creating some other problems too, see http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/choices.html#assoc
If you put several fields on one line, you indeed encounter the line
breaking problems. And there's really nothing specified about browser
behavior as regards to treating form fields as "inline elements", i.e.
whether a line break is permitted or not. Moreover, IE is known to fail
to honor no-break space character semantics at times. Using CSS to
prevent line breaks is uncertain at best, and the white-space property
by definition affects white space only, not e.g. line breaks between a
word and an input field (though it might have other effects too, on
some browsers).

Hi everybody....
Here's a question for you. I think the answer is simple, but I'm not sure
how to go about it...what I want to do is to break down a string into
components. I already know about the LEFT, MID, and RIGHT properties, but I
don't believe they'll work in this case. Anyway:

recordset...something like:

How do you get DB2 to update a char(n) field with multiple spaces right
next to each other without having the additional spaces being omitted?
Here's the background:
We have a field "codes2" that's defined as char(8) that we use to keep
eight different codes (i.e. codes2 = something, codes2 =
something else, etc.). I'm sure that idea is nothing new to anyone but
our problem arises when we try to store two spaces ('...

Hello,
VWD Express seems obsessed with inserting loads of spaces at the start
of each line whenever you drag controls into the source view. I guess
this is MS' idea of making the source code readable by indenting it, but
it annoys me intensely. Apart from anything else, it causes extra line
wrap as the spaces make the line too long to fit in the window.
Can I switch off this, erm "feature"? I haven't found a way yet. Please

Have tried a number of things including space(n) in front of the string but
when the DropDownList is shown the spaces have apparently been trimmed.
Is this something that would have to be done in a custom control?
I would like the spaces to be at the front end of the string " xxxxx".
In vs.net I am doing a listitem(string)
Any Help is appreciated.
thanks

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
