Hi, guys. I wanna ask about "white space", right? My book says that it is good idea to delete white space when creating website to save bandwidth. But other web tutorial says we should make html code easy to read. I understand "white space" eats bandwidth but if I delete all white space, it's going to be difficult to feed back after that, isn't it? What do you think of it? And how do you manage it?

Create enough white space for you to be able to read your code, unless you're seriously bandwidth limited.

You must be able to read your code. If it doesn't make sense now, it certainly won't make an ounce of sense 6 months from now.

I usually don't bother *tabbing* my HTML code. But otherwise, I use line breaks freely to make it readable.

The bandwidth on any normal-sized page will be negligable. Just don't do&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; things&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; like&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; this.

This will not really give you any real bandwidth boosts first remember tabs are actually the equivalent of only one character which means each tab is only gonna save you one byte. You'd need 1000 tabs to get one KB which is about a quarter of the smallest image you would have on the page.

Keep the spacing it's not worth the hassle
