Hello,

I tried

<h:outputText value="#{"nbsp;"}" escape="false" />

but in html it doesnt appear.

Remember that EL brackets are useful only for EL expression such as :

#{clientHome.persist()}

Try this :

<h:outputText value=" " escape="false" />

IRC,   is a html entity not an xml entity.  XML only supports quot, amp, apos, lt, and gt.  So if you need a nbsp. you can probably do

     <h:outputText value="one&#160;two" escape="false" />

I found the solution:

<h:outputText value="&amp;nbsp;" escape="false" />

thx
