I was trying to use the \t to tab in Firefox 1.5.0.1. It works in IE 6. I haven't tried it in other other browser, but I was wondering if there's something I'm doing wrong. I tried a simple test page to see if it was my script, and the test page gave me the same results. It worked in IE6 but not Firefox.
I also tried putting in " " for tabs instead of using the \t escape. Firefox just ignores the white space I guess. Any ideas on formatting it? I'll post the test I did: CODE <HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE></TITLE> <script type="text/JavaScript" language="JavaScript"> <!-- function test(){ alert("\t\tCENTER!\t\t"); } --> </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY onload="test();"> </BODY> </HTML> |

Umm i dunno about the \t tab, and I know whitespace " " will be ignored. Your quick and dirty solution would be to use the character which represents a single space. So in effect, putting four or eight of in a row would give you your typical tab.
Example: CODE alert(" CENTER! "); |

hey minnieadkins,
This doesn't have tab stops, so lining up elements would be troublesome, but you can do: CODE var tab = '\u2003\u2003\u2003\u2003'; var replacement = /\t/g; var string = 'this is a\t test str\ting'.replace(replacement, tab); alert(string); It's unfortunate that FF and a lot of other browsers remove this whitespace. Cheers, MC |
