“L SEP” character shows up in Chrome

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

I’m not sure that I understand. What exactly is the problem? When I view your page in Chrome, I don’t see anything wrong or unusual.
Can you maybe provide a screenshot?

Regards,
Tobias

Hi Tobias, thanks for your blazing fast reply! Here a screenshot:

You mentioned what is so mysterious: I don’t see those charakters with no browser neither on a Mac nor on iPhone. My client sees it with Chrome on Windows (and doesn’t with IE) – and it only appears within this TablePress cell (nowhere else).

I also can’t blame that on a bad font (Open Sans), cause it’s loaded from the Google font servers.

Hi,

ah, ok. Thanks for the screenshot!

There’s indeed an invisible character there.
If you copy

100?% ?Baumwolle

to a text editor (I tried it with Sublime Text) and then navigate/scroll through the text using the left and right arrow buttons, you will see how the cursor “stops” once. That’s for the invisible character.
You will have to remove all those from the cells.

Tobias

oh no, sorry, this first cell is a special case: Because I didn’t want to format it with an extra “valign:top” I simply inserted two   for the empty lines here:

100?% ?Baumwolle
 
 

Please ignore that and take a look at the third column for example: no special character anywhere ??

Hi,

I’m not referring to the   here. There is an actual invisible character (that doesn’t even have a width) between the % and the B of Baumwolle.

Dear Tobias,

you were right and my apologies to blame TablePress somehow for this character (and steeling your time too!). I removed those totally invisible blanks and my problem is gone. Thank you for your kind support anyway!

Hi,

no problem, you are very welcome! ?? Good to hear that this helped!

Best wishes,
Tobias

P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!

This solves it for you:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("body").children().each(function() {
        $(this).html($(this).html().replace(/&#8232 ;/g," ")); // remove the space in front of the first semicolon!
    });
});

Hi,

thanks for that solution! Not even letting these characters slip in should be a bit better, but your idea is also nice!

Best wishes,
Tobias
