Missing space in output

[David H]

Hello.

Simple question for you probably. I can't understand why the output for
something like

<%="x"%> <%="x"%>

is

"xx" (no quotation marks)

Why is there no space between the two x's?
(Of course I could achieve this in other ways, but I can't understand
why this happens.)

 

[Dave Karmens]

Because "x" doesn't have a space in it ...
try:

<%=" x "%> <%="x"%>

I just ran into this for the first time myself, too, recently. My line was
like:

Welcome <%=sFirstname%> <%=sLastname%>

In a view-source, there was clearly a space in the html, yet it displayed
like:

Welcome RayCostanzo

Why? I didn't bother trying to figure out what was up, so I just did:

<%=sFirstname & " " & sLastname%>

and all was fine. So, if nothing else, you're not alone in this!

for space write this:
give space right after x.

I've wondered if maybe the ASP engine ignores white space between ASP
delimiters, and THAT's why the output is jammed together.

Tested not true.

There is a space, both in the resulting html and in the IE6 output.

So, I got home and looked at the page that I had been working on at home,
and yes, I apparently lied when I said the space showed up in a view source.
It does not show up. So, it does appear that ASP doesn't bother with the
single spaces in between like you said.

Yea, that was my thought too. Wonder why.
Thanks for all who looked at it (if you're reading this)

If this happens to some of us, but not to others,
it must be a ASP version thing.

W2003Server/IIS6.0 does not bug.

I've got IIS 5.1, so yeah, could be something with the versions. Thanks
