Ask.com mod and ' ' spaces
I just installed your "Ask.com" mod, and its great!

But i sorta found a "bug" in it, at least for me..


You see, in my 'link.html' file, i have the following:

(please note that the "&" symbol is intentionally left out of the beginning of the 'nbsp;' so it will properly display in this message.)

<small class="date"><B>Options:nbsp;nbsp;</B> [ <a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/spider.cgi?URL=<%URL%>">Spider</a> ]nbsp;nbsp;[ <a href="mailto:badlink@sexual-linkage.com?SUBJECT=Dead Link Found!">Report Dead Link</a> ]nbsp;nbsp;[ <a href="http://www.sexual-linkage.com/cgibin/links/translate.cgi?url=<%URL%>">Translate</a> ]


Which has always displayed on the screen as:

Options: [ Spider ] [ Report Dead Link ] [ Translate ]


now, since installing this mod, my "search results" page displays this:

Options:nbsp;nbsp;[ Spider ]nbsp;nbsp;[ Report Dead Link ]nbsp;nbsp;[ Translate ]



The search results now actually displays/shows the "nbsp;" command on the screen, which is what i used for "spaces" ...

It never did this before, so i was wondering if anyone ever came across this
before, and/or is there a simple way to correct this?


Any help would be appreciated...

Hmm...don't know why it is screwing up your link.html display.

BTW: There is a Report Dead Link Mod in the Resource Center that is more robust and effective than the mailto option you have in your site.

May be if you ask in a nicer manner, then I would be more willing to help you.

Since you have asked in such a demanding manner, I think I will pass.

Good luck!

Regards.
