Author   is displayed when returned from database call

I am making a web Application, where non breakable space ( ) is
crucial to the layout. When I write   directly into the html, it
is displayed correctly. But If I store a value in the database (MS Sql
server 2003) containing the   code it is rendered to the browser
like this:

King Kong

instead of

King Kong

Any solutions????

Yes, formatting shouldn=B4t be stored in the database unless you have to
use this in any way. I suggest formatting your text on the client side
not storing in in the server. Anyway, did you look at your HTML Code
which is rendered ? Perhap syou use a special control which does the
formatting for you, so that   will be HTML coded as   int
the client code.

To add to Jens' response, this is not a SQL Server issue because SQL Server
treats the data as a simple character string. The altering of the embedded
html codes occurs somewhere in your client code or components.

Hope this helps.

thanks Guys!

yes the hml code formats the retrieved string as KING&nbsp;KONG. I
will try to make a serverside function that exchanges all spaces in the
string with &nbsp;=20

I=B4ll let you know the result in 2 minnutes

it worked!

it was quite easy

public static string unbreakSpaces(string
oldstring)
{
return oldstring.Replace(" ", "&nbsp;");

}
