Not really sure what you want to do but for pure info's sake this &nbsp; will create a space of one character between text.

If you just want a space between 2 line of text then <p> will do it, if you want a bigger space i simply make an img the same color as the background and insert it, nobody ever knows its there, this is probably cheating.......but it does work and is a nice workaround if i do say so myself.
If fact i use this method to push things around on my page all the time.

SupremeVertigo, also read the tutorials! In these enlightened times we use CSS to 'push things around' not images.

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but I'm trying to help.

Create vertical spaces: <p>&nbsp</P>
Create horizontal spaces: &nbsp ("&nbsp;&nbsp" will create two spaces, and so on).

Hope this helps :)
It works great for aligning things just were you want them.

<HTML>

<TITLE>QHP WebSite</TITLE>

<FRAMESET>
<FRAMESET COLS="6%,50%">

<FRAME NAME="A" SRC="http://www.freewebs.com/qhpforum/linkss.html">
<FRAME NAME="b" SRC="http://www.freewebs.com/qhpforum/main.html">

Without frames or without a frame border?

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content=
"text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>
QHP WebSite
</title>
</head>
<frameset cols="6%,50%">
<frame name="A" src=
"http://www.freewebs.com/qhpforum/linkss.html" id="A" scrolling="no">
<frame name="b" src=
"http://www.freewebs.com/qhpforum/main.html" id="b">
<noframes>
<body>
<p>
Message
</p>
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>

Since frames have borders you cannot remove them without hacks but maybe you wanted no scrolling.

<HTML>

<TITLE>QHP WebSite</TITLE>

<FRAMESET>
<FRAMESET COLS="6%,50%" frameborder=no framespacing=0 border=0>

<FRAME NAME="A" SRC="http://www.freewebs.com/qhpforum/linkss.html">
<FRAME NAME="b" SRC="http://www.freewebs.com/qhpforum/main.html">

</FRAMESET>
</HTML>

Yes validity of the syntax; as "...framespacing=0 border=0..." is propriety nonsense that will only work in a few dodgy browsers.
