The pad function by default pads spaces where additional characters are needed however these are standard spaces and are not rendered in a browser. Is it possible to make &nbsp the pad character?

This default of standard spaces for the pad character is pretty useless.

Hi James,

Tried that with no success. Both with single and double quotes. It pads the actual letters. My data appears as:
text&nbs
text2&nb
text10&n
...and so on.
