I want to show the wording "UNITED SEP      030 WORD" as a hyperlink. However , when I do that like this -
<a href="javascript:showSymbolMenu('4')>UNITED SEP      030 WORD</a>
, browser displays the value "UNITED SEP 030 WORD" with hyperlink. The spaces present in between "SEP" & "030" are truncated.

There are million of records so I can not substitute empty spaces by &nbsp;.
How should I stop browser from truncating the spaces?
