> The following elements don't 'inherit' the style, they are simply put > 'inside' the <div/> element Sure, the trailing slash <../> isn't recognised so the minimised element is treated as an opening one (effectively putting the following-sibling 'inside' as you say) Another problem comes with expressions - this will work: <div></div> <div style="position:relative;top:expression(-previousSibling.scrollHeight)"> but this causes the error 'line 0: object expected' <div/> <div style="position:relative;top:expression(-previousSibling.scrollHeight)"> ...really nasty in a large file. Ultimately all of this pain could lifted by a few talented processor writers ;) Or of course, if anyone could tell me how to modify my own copy of saxon/xalan to prevent minimisation, that would be equally great. cheers andrew > -----Original Message----- > From: Américo Albuquerque [mailto:aalbuquerque@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 10 September 2002 17:32 > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RE: [xsl] tag minimisation > > > Hi. > > The following elements don't 'inherit' the style, they are simply put > 'inside' the <div/> element > > So, to a web browser > <div style="font-weight:bold"/> > <div>foo</div> > is the same as > <div style="font-weight:bold"> > <div>foo</div> > </div> > > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > Andrew Welch > Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 4:27 PM > To: Xsl-List (E-mail) > Subject: [xsl] tag minimisation > > > When elements like <div></div> get minimised by the processor > to <div/> > it's *really* frustrating. > > I cannot stress how annoying it is to find that because you have an > element in your data that is empty, you get a minimised ouput element > where all following elements 'inherit' the style... > > For example: > > <div style="font-weight:bold"/> > <div>foo</div> > > will give you a bold 'foo'. > > I appreciate that html/css is at fault, but surely its easy to add a > minimisation='no' extension until browsers catch up...?
