How can I add non-breaking space to a string in JavaScript?

Question

I want to display an array of strings in HTML with a random number of white spaces in front of the string in the array. How would I go about doing this in JavaScript?

I first did a loop of the array and tried adding " " to each string in the array, but the white spaces don't show up. I also tried adding  , but it doesn't get interpreted in JavaScript.

What you do seems to be correct. A simple code sample might help get clarity on the issue you are facing. I am adding ' ' to a string with no javascript problems. jsfiddle.net/d2btyr5k — sal

Adding non-breaking spaces should work.

However, the crucial part of displaying white space in an HTML document is to set the white-space CSS property of the relevant elements to pre or pre-wrap.
