Nonbreaking space

[Qingxiang Ke <qk...@cisco.com>]

Hi,

I am using xsl java extension, I obtained a DocumentFragment and got the
Owner Document and create some elements inside the document, then I tried
to create a text node for a element. However, I couldn't put Nonbreaking
space before the text in the text node. 
for Example:
DocumentFragment resultTreeFragment is obtained as a function paramenter.

Document factory = resultTreeFragment.getOwnerDocument();
Element select = factory.createElement("Select");
Element option = factory.createElement("option");
select.appendChild(option);
option.appendChild(factory.createTextNode("   Beginning of
the Text");

The output to html actually escape '&' in " " and I got in result
document is "   " instead of nonbreaking space I
want. Then I tried to use   didn't work either, After both failure,  I
tried to put the full text including those nonbreaking spaces in a CData
section, but the the full CData section was implanted into html without any
conversion and caused the full text disappear in browser.

I am using Lotus 0.20, which is a wrapper around Xalan 0.20 and using
XML4J2.0.15. 

Could someone help?

Thanks.

Qingxiang

try


option.appendChild(factory.createTextNode("\u00A0\u00A0\u00A0Beginning of
  the Text"));

this should work (theoretically). You don't need to take care about the correct
XML/HTML representation of characters - this is a task for the output
generator.
