How do I preserve whitespace within an element of a list selection. I am presenting a list of clients for single selection, but if I have a selection that has additional spaces in it, the spaces are removed when presented in the browser

I want to preserve the additional space within the client name presented in the list.

eg. 1
<TABLE border="0" width="876">
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD height="10">&nbsp;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD width="700" valign="top">
<FORM method="POST" action="<%=applicationHome%>/transferID" name="theForm">
<TABLE width="100%">
<CAPTION align="left"><B>Select Client ID</B></CAPTION>
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD height="5"></TD>
<TD></TD>
<TD></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD width="45%">
<FIELDSET><LEGEND align="top">Clients</LEGEND> &nbsp;<%
int numberOfClients = clients.size();
int clientShowSize = 5;
if (numberOfClients < 5) {
clientShowSize = numberOfClients;
}
Iterator clientList = clients.iterator();
%> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<SELECT name="clients" size="<%=clientShowSize%>">
<%
while (clientList.hasNext()) {
String client = (String)clientList.next();
%>
<OPTION><%= client %></OPTION>
<%
}
%>
</SELECT><BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
</FIELDSET>
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD height="5"></TD>
<TD></TD>
<TD></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD width="45%" valign="top" align="center"><INPUT type="submit" name="action" value="Continue"> </TD>
<TD width="5%"></TD>
<TD width="45%"></TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
</FORM>
</TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>

dont use &nbsp;

put the spaces in quotes

you may have to mix your quotes, use single and double, but you need to put them in some kind of quotes in your ASP code
