Class Method Summary collapse

Class Method Details

.collapse_spaces=(value) ⇒ Object

By default, spaces are collapsed on browsers when printing the select option texts For example:

<select>
   <option>This  option    should   have      lots of       spaces   on its text</option>
</select>

When you browse that, some browsers collapse the spaces, so you get an option that says

"This option should have lots of spaces on its text"

Setting collapse_blanks to false will replace the blanks with the &nbsp; character, using javascript

option_text.replace(/ /g, "\240"); // "\240" is the octal representation of charcode 160 (nbsp)
