Hi, I'm having a problem with the xsl:strip-space element. I'm trying to
strip all the excess whitespace from a document, however very occasionally
I'll get some whitespace nodes which won't get stripped. I think this is
because they have non breaking spaces in them (however I'm not really sure
how to check for sure)? Here's the sample that doesn't get the space
stripped:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

					<td colspan="11">
           

          <p align="center">  2000</p>
					    <test>  </test>
</td>



And here's the output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><td colspan="11">
           

          <p align="center">  2000</p><test/></td>


I found that if the last character on the 4th line was removed, then it
removed the space, so I guess that's the nbsp?


Anyways, what I'm wondering is how to strip the space including the nbsp.

Thanks,
Jordan
