Spacing of <a> tags in <span>

[OM2]

I have the following code:

<span >
<a href="#">ABOUT</a>
<a href="#">CONTACT</a>
<a href="#">ABC</a>
<a href="#">XYZ</a>
<a href="#">TEST</a>
</span>


Why is there a space between the links?
The output is:
ABOUT CONTACT ABC XYZ TEST

Why isn't is:
ABOUTCONTACTABCXYZTEST

ALSO: I'm using Dreamweaver to edit
Why is is showing a spacing of 4 spaces between each of the links?
I've checked on 3 of the latest browsers and the spacing is one one space??

Thanks

XHTML will render whitespace as a &nbsp;.

You must either switch to HTML 4.1 or remove the whitespace in your document.


<span>
<a href="#">ABOUT</a><a href="#">CONTACT</a><a href="#">ABC</a><a href="#">XYZ</a><a href="#">TEST</a>
</span>
