I have weird   tags in my vertical accordian menu renderd in the browser. This &nbsp's are not in the code and I can not find them. Can anybody help?

<ul id="nav"><li><a href="#" class="active">Rotwein</a>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<ul style="display: block;">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><a href="#">Sub-Item 1 a</a></li>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><a href="#">Sub-Item 1 b</a></li>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><a href="#">Sub-Item 1 c</a></li>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</ul>
&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><a href="#">Weisswein</a>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<ul style="">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><a href="#">Sub-Item 2 a</a></li>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</ul>
&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><a href="#">Rosewein</a>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<ul style="">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><a href="#">Sub-Item 3 a</a></li>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><a href="#">Sub-Item 3 b</a></li>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><a href="#">Sub-Item 3 c</a></li>

&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><a href="#">Schaumwein</a>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<ul style="">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><a href="#">Sub-Item 4 a</a></li>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><a href="#">Sub-Item 4 b</a></li>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><a href="#">Sub-Item 4 c</a></li>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</ul>

&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
&nbsp;&nbsp;<li><a href="#">Altro</a></li>
</ul>
    ``` 
The Javascript: 

 ```javascript


        $(document).ready(function () {
  $('#nav > li > a').click(function(){
    if ($(this).attr('class') != 'active'){
      $('#nav li ul').slideUp();
      $(this).next().slideToggle();
      $('#nav li a').removeClass('active');
      $(this).addClass('active');
    }
  });
});

$('#nav a.active').each(function(){
    $(this).next().show();
  });

            ```

It looks like indentation of a certain editor. With what editor did you write this ?

At least here it is without   CLICK
