Still looking for a way to delete ' ' from my html code, found number of ways on stackoverlow.com, but neither of those seam to work!

HTML

<p>No Space</p>
<p>&nbsp;1 Space</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;2 Spaces</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3 Spaces</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4 Spaces</p>

jQuery

$(document).ready(function() {

    $('p').text().replace(/ /g, '');
    //$('p').html($(this).html().replace(/&nbsp;/gi,''));

});

jsfiddle - playground http://jsfiddle.net/MrTest/hbvjQ/85/

Any help much appreciated.

Answer

You have &nbsp in your code instead of  

$('p').each(function(){
    $(this).html($(this).html().replace(/&nbsp;/gi,''));
});
