Another Newbee Question

Hi all,

I have run across a piece of code that I cannot find any reference to its meaning.

I have seen it in many html documents and usually occuring in a <table> <td> area. The code is "&amp;nbsp;".

Sorry that I had to write the code this way. Please read it without the parentheses and quotes, but when I typed it correctly and previewed it would not show up in the preview.
All Fixed. Click "Edit" to see how to code it ;) .

I would appreciate it if someone would give me an idea of the purpose of this piece of code.

Thanks for your help.

&amp;nbsp; is an entity reference. It creates a non-breaking space.
