RE: [xmljs-users] ELEMENT_NODE Vs TEXT_NODE

[Barry B. <Ba...@al...>]

thanx for your help, David.

>> It should be off by default though

aye, it is and explicitly setting it to "false" didn't quite fix it.=20

but you *were* on the right track David, there *was* whitespace =
_between_ the nodes themselves - usually TAB's.

<f_name>	<![CDATA[ fred ]]>	</f_name>
________^tab^_________________^tab^____________

so while "preserveWhiteSpace=3Dfalse" will handle "[ fred ]", the extra =
tabs are all converted to their own type3 node, yes?

thanx

I've kicked the butt of the guy who wrote the server-side XML. I usually =
just get a URL (with params) and that displays the xml doc in IE as my =
API (for XmlHttpRequest)

...and of course the whitespace doesn't show up in the browser =
directly...D'oh!








 You"re probably seeing the white space in your XML turned into XML =
nodes. In XML,
whitespace is
 non-trivial and can be included as part of the document as its own =
node.

 XML for <SCRIPT> provides a way to turn this feature off in the =
DOMImplementation object.
See
=20

http://xmljs.sourceforge.net/website/documentation-w3cdom-DOMImplementati=
on.html#DOMImplementationpreserveWhiteSpace
=20
 for more info. It should be off by default though. Are you turning it =
on for some reason?
