Question

I have the following being extracted from an XML and being put into a jQuery variable.

 links.append($("<a href='"+alink+"'></a>&nbsp;").html(desc));

…however the   does not output onto the page. I need this to separate the hrefs on output

I have also tried

links.append($("<a href='"+alink+"'></a>").html(desc));
    links.append($("&nbsp;"));

Many thanks!

You better style with css, something like :

links.append($("<a class='link' href='"+alink+"'></a>").html(desc));

in css :

a.link {
padding-left : 5px ;
padding-right : 5px ;
}
