make a div tag contain white spaces?

Kourosh · May 26, 2006

Is there a style sheet that would let me do this? I want to have the
behaviour of a PRE tag (so white spaces would be shown).

Assert your right to make a few mistakes. If people can't accept your
imperfections, that's their fault.

DOCTYPE makes a difference.

Try one of the following:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">

It could be something on your page, you know. Consider posting the URL if
you want help with it.

Also consider posting an explanation of what you really wish to accomplish,
if you want really useful help. Why would you want to include preformatted
text on a web page, and specifically in manner that does not work when your
style sheet is not used?
