javascript STYLE whiteSpace

whiteSpace	Firefox/Netscape/NN 6 IE 5(Mac)/5.5(Win) Chrome/Safari/DOM 2
	Read/Write
Controls intepretation of whitespace (such as leading spaces and line breaks) from the source code.

Example

document.getElementById("myDIV").style.whiteSpace = "pre";

Value
One of the constant values (as a string): normal \| nowrap \| pre. Value of normal allows browsers to word-wrap lines in block elements and ignore leading spaces. Value of nowrap causes source code not to word-wrap, but still ignores leading spaces. Value of pre preserves leading spaces, extra spaces, and carriage returns in the source code. Note that IE 6 for Windows does not respond to the pre value unless the DOCTYPE element values place the browser into standards compatibility mode.

Default
normal
