Hi Denis:

    I ave simple text (with the inclusion of &nbsp;  codes, and MArtin's 
solution resolves everything nicely. IE* and Chrome react exactly the same.

    I tried 'innerHTML' for a few minutes, and came up with the long string 
of chars interspersed with &nbsp;

    So, back to Martin's solution.

Thanks to all !
