I'm generating content dynamically and in some instances, I need to set a   as the only content of a <span> element.

However, the following adds   as text vs adding a empty space:

var foo = document.createElement(span)

foo = document.createTextNode(&nbsp;);

which makes sense, so I'm wondering, how would I add   correctly without (!) using innerHTML

Thanks for help!

You can use a unicode literal for a non breaking space:

var foo = document.createTextNode(u00A0);
