Dreamweaver WONT let me have Spaces in text .... ??

I would think they can differentiate between the issue you described and some one trying to hide keywords within the site. If they can understand invisible text for copyright protection, custom language delivery, and IP based delivery for broadband users then they must understand tables, right?

 

The thing with invisible text is that you won't get banned from google for having it.

Google have simply made their algorithm smart enough to spot invisible text and ignore it. Therefore adding invisible text is pointless.

 

at the moment google doesn't penalise you for using
display:none

Which is good. I use it on some of my sites to add accessability.
eg
on a long list of links in the navigation I will add 'you are here' and use display none to hide it. People using screen readers, which ignore css and visual cues will be told the link that links to the page they are on. It helps keep things in context for them - and is a recommended technique

 

You can get whitespace many different ways. spans with padding, blank gifs or using

 

HTML:

. There's no reason to use that as an excuse.

 

CSS provides spacing control. The use of   and br and whatever, for that purpose, is unprofessional.

Use letter-spacing to control the space between letters, word-spacing to control the space between words, line-height to control the space between lines, and margin to control the space between paragraphs. You may also use padding as required.

They may not ban you completely, but they may penalize your site.

tnx guys, i didnt know how to do this either cause dreamweaver only allows one space.

 

Pressing "CTRL + SHIFT + SPACE" allows you to add as many space as you want in dreamweaver.
