Whitespace for cell value being removed

[chuntParticipant]

I have created a grid where the json returns a field that has some white space like this “SUN 09/04” the json returns the string correctly with the whitespace but the grid is removing the white space. How do I get the grid to keep the whitespace?

Looks like the post removed the white space as well. The value should look like this but the “.” are spaces. “SUN………09/04”

Hi chunt,

The reason for this isn’t the jqxGrid, but the HTML itself. HTML doesn’t allow multiple whitespaces. However there are solutions for this issue and they all take adventage of the cellsrenderer function, for example you can format the column with the text that will contain multple whitespaces in it by inserting the text in a <pre> tag. Another solution is to use CSS and its white-space property which will have the same effect. I prepared you some examples:
1) Using the <pre> tag:

2) Using CSS:
