Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: 

In many pages, for example http://sky.prohosting.com/spiletta/quiettype.html 
the code   fails to produce a blank space, and instead shows up.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Load the page, read the text.
Actual Results:  
It showed the text with the extra code visible, which looks sloppy.

Expected Results:  
It should have inserted the desired extra space in phrases such as "I read" 
rather than displaying "I&nbspread"

I have received dozens of emails telling me that my text is messed up.  I 
traced the problem to Firefox users only.  I loaded the text in IE, Netscape, 
Firefox, and Opera.  I also tested it in IE 4.0  Only Firefox displayed the 
code instead of a blank space.

I suspect it is a simple fix.  I've searched for a way around the problem, but 
failed to find one on my own.  I'm experienced with html and javascript, but 
I'm not a programmer.  I'd appreciate any advice you have.
