Trying to fill MARQUEE from database

Hello!

I try to fill my MARQUEE text from one MEMO-record from database. However
the 'spaces' in my db-text are converted to 1-space as soon as i put them as
text in my ASP page..... Must i make a conversion routine converting these
database spaces to ' '? Or is there a simple other way to do all this?

Friendly greetings,

André Groeneveld

Possible solutions:

1) strTXT = Replace(strTXT," ","&nbsp;")

2) <pre><%=strTXT%></pre>

That's the way it's supposed to work. :)

Either use a non-breaking space when data goes to the database, or
better, replace them as data comes out and is sent to display.
