String.prototype.htmlSpaceFix = function(){
     var fix = this;
	 fix = fix.split("> ");
	 fix = fix.join(">&#32;");
	 return fix;
}

usage

try this:

output = ("<b>This is an html bug fix</b> <i>A</i>");
You'll lose the space between consecutive tags.




you can fix it by moving the space inside one of the tags like so:
output = ("<b>This is an html bug fix</b><i> A</i>");
But that's crappy.




Here is the function fixing the immediate space after a close bracket.


somestring = ("<b>This is an html bug fix</b> <i>for everyone.</i>");


String.prototype.htmlSpaceFix = function(){
     var fix = this;
	 fix = fix.split("> ");
	 fix = fix.join(">&#32;");
	 return fix;
}
mytextField.htmlText = somestring.htmlSpaceFix();


since all the html needs is some string in between consecutive brackets this will also fix an example with multiple spaces like:

"<b>lots of spaces</b>            <i>here</i>"

by making it:

"<b>lots of spaces</b>&#32;           <i>here</i>"
