Keep left spaces for string field into a browse

Hi,

How to keep the left spaces for a string field that is used into a browse?

Thanks

[Poul]

Code: [Select]

<pre>   if you allow xhtml
probably best if its a fixed-width  column  as it may
not auto-size properly, there mght be a css way ....</pre>

Hi Poul,

Thanks for your answer but doesn´t work.

Regards,

[Poul]

Code: [Select]

'<pre>     TEST   :'& clip(loc:mystring) & '</pre>'
in the Display: prompt of the template

womm, perhaps i misunderstand, or fiddler would shed some light.

alternatively, you could prepend some     characters
you still need to tick the allow xhtml on  the column though.

where are you using it in a browse Walter? in a browse column?

From Poul's answer;
'<pre>' & clip(loc:mystring) & '</pre>'
and make sure the column has "allow xHtml" ticked on.

cheers
