Firefox space problem (&nbsp)

Post by **Survivor** » Fri Dec 08, 2006 10:54 pm

I recently reinstalled someone's pc after they got their connection cut off because the pc and/or laptop was infected and sending out a good deal of spam.
After much hassle with the isp, (who ask for a printscreen from the scanned pc to their abuse department by e-mail after they cut the connection

, and still stupid since you can fake it too easily) we got internet back.
Along with a reinstall of both laptop and pc I installed and recommended they use firefox as a less vulnerable browser.

Now comes the problem.
In IE everything is fine.
In Firefox however certain spaces are replaced by &nbsp

I checked around and it simply is the code for non-breaking space. I haven't found a reason why it should show up.

Now I think it's just because of how the people made the page but I wonder if I can do anything about it so they don't have to switch back to IE for that.

Same. Could be the code of the page.

That's what I was thinking as well. Was hoping there would be a workaround.

The page is malformed. The designer should've used

- notice the semicolon.

Bugger, oh well.
