Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 22.2006

I am trying to add spaces to indent to text on a link.

But it keepson ignoring the spacer var????

function showSubMenu(){
var spacer = ” “;
document.getElementById(‘previous’).firstChild.data = spacer + ” – GMC 2006″;
document.getElementById(‘accomodation’).firstChild.data = spacer + ” – Guttane Concert”;

}

I know it sounds easy but I cant get it to work

Any ideas???

John

@JMRKERNov 22.2006 — You might try:

var spacer='   ' // repeat or put in 'for...loop count' as needed.

This adds the text ' ' to the text - not an actual space

Thanks,

John

div.style.textIndent = "200px" ;
div.innerHTML = "Guttane Concert" ;

}
