Hey there,

Here's a short one:

How do I leave the extra whitespace inside a select object after I retrieve
it from the database?

I tried using the <pre> tag while generating the list, but that doesn't seem
to work...

Here's the bit that's giving me trouble.

<option><pre>'Z' PROMET ST.</pre></option>

I extracted it from the generated HTML, so, basically, it's an HTML
question. I tried putting the <pre> tag on the outer side of the <option>
tags, but that didn't work either.

Notice the double whitespace between 'Z' and PROMET.

Thanx a bundle,

F.
