Some XHTML configurations don't seem to have the full list of entity names. Use the numerical character reference,  

Edit: "Some XHTML configurations" means XHTML documents without a full XHML DOCTYPE declaration. If you omit the DOCTYPE altogether, or use a shorthand one, like <!DOCTYPE html>, the browser will only recognise the five XML entity names. So either provide a full DOCTYPE, like <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> or use numerical character references as above.

Hi been out of web dev for a long time now, before when I wanted to put a space between two images i'd use &nbsp in HTML however XHTML is different? Been looking on the net but nothing is sinking in, could someone kindly help out?

Here is my code;
```
<img id ="aft" src="images/after_clamping.jpg" width="200" height="210" alt="" /><img   id ="tic" src="images/ticket.jpg" width="200" height="210" alt="" />
```

  Don't use spaces for something like this. Do what @faino suggests and use CSS! Spaces are for separating words in text.

  Did you include the semi-colon?

I had this issue, once I defined the doctype as above it solved it. Thanks.!
