space or &nbsp; not outputting in jQuery
<p>I have the following being extracted from an XML and being put into a jQuery variable. </p>

<pre><code> links.append($("&lt;a href='"+alink+"'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;").html(desc));
</code></pre>

<p>...however the <code>&amp;nbsp;</code> does not output onto the page. I need this to separate the hrefs on output</p>

<p>I have also tried</p>

<pre><code>links.append($("&lt;a href='"+alink+"'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;").html(desc));
    links.append($("&amp;nbsp;"));
</code></pre>

<p>Many thanks!</p>
