Zero-width Spaces! - .NET Framework

pmgriffin

Hi all,

i'm attempting to overcome the problem of table cell contents
overflowing by inserting zero-width spaces into the content string. The
scheme is working correctly in that i know longer receive overflow
errors. Unfortunately the zero-width spaces are being rendered as
visible white space such that www.urlname.com becomes www. urlname.
com. My xsl try to replace the '.' with '.' which should give
me the url without the spaces.

Has anyone encountered this problem before? any suggestions as to why
the zero-width spaces are being rendered as visible white space??

any help appreciated!
Regards
Paul.

Support for the zero-width space in fonts and browsers is poor
at the moment. See the thread

Should pointer members be zero initialized by default?

by: Steven T. Hatton | last post by:

I mistakenly set this to the comp.std.c++ a few days back. I don't believe it passed the moderator's veto - and I did not expect or desire anything different. But the question remains: ISO/IEC 14882:2003(E) §8.5 says: To zero-initialize an object of type T means: 5 -- if T is a scalar type (3.9), the object is set to the value of 0 (zero) converted to T;

memset all bits to zero will let float/double to zero?

by: Zhiqiang Ye | last post by:

Hi, All I am reading FAQ of this group. I have a question about this: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/q7.31.html It says: " p = malloc(m * n); memset(p, 0, m * n); The zero fill is all-bits-zero, and does not therefore guarantee useful null pointer values (see section 5 of this list) or floating-point zero values.

References for machines where NULL is not zero.

by: pm940 | last post by:

Hello. I've been reading some past discussions on the NULL vs. zero. References are always made to systems or machienes that use values other than zero to represent the NULL pointer. Although not a practice I follow, there are no doubt millions of lines of open source libraries and applications that do things like: p = malloc(...);

x == 0 && (x & -1) != 0 for negative zero?

by: Hallvard B Furuseth | last post by:

As far as I can tell, (x & -1) is nonzero if the integer x is negative zero. So for signed types, x == 0 does not guarantee (x & foo) == 0. Is that right? (Not that I expect to ever encounter a non-two's-complement machine. Just wondering.) -- Hallvard

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
