Hi All:

    My IE8 still won't change the nbsp; coding to spaces altho Chrome does 
so.

    Below is my actual latest test code

    and here is the definition of my alltrim() function

function alltrim(str) {
   return str.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"") ;
}

Thanks

-Mel Smith


********* latest test code *************
option = el.options[nindex] ; // text string with multiple 'nbsp;' in it
textstr = option.text ;
textstr = textstr.replace(/nbsp;/g," ") ; // change nbsp; into space 
globally

// get the clubname first
npos1 = textstr.search("Tees") ;
clubname = textstr.substring(0,npos1) ;
alert("a. Code at start= " + clubname.charCodeAt(0)+"  Code at end= 
"+clubname.charCodeAt(clubname.length-1)) ;
clubname = alltrim(clubname) ;   // trim spaces off of the ends of the 
clubname
alert("b. Code at start= " + clubname.charCodeAt(0)+"  Code at end= 
"+clubname.charCodeAt(clubname.length-1)) ;
// in both alerts above the chars at the start and end are Unicode 160 
(unbreakable space) for IE8

alert("clubname=**"+clubname+"**  Len = "+clubname.length) ;
