I can use normalize-space() to make it work but that would be a hack. > I guess, xsl:strip=space should work, or am I using it incorrectly? >From what I read in "XSLT Programmer's Reference" strip-space only eliminates text nodes that consist entirely of whitespace, so it won't have any affect on your "property" node which also has some digits, a period ans two vertical bars in it as well as the whitespace. I think you want to change your template to <xsl:template match="object" > <PRODUCT_ITEM > <PRICE> <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(property/@uri)"/> </PRICE> </xsl:template> which uses the normalize-space function to remove leading and trailing whitespace from the attribute value.
