Subject: RE: [xsl] Fwd: white space in MSIE From: "Dion Houston" <dionh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2002 11:18:21 -0800 |
Interestingly, I was not able to repro this with MSXML (and hence IE). I was able to repro this with System.Xml though. I used the following stylesheet: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <HTML> <HEAD><TITLE>TEST</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY><H1><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(/p)"/></H1></BODY> </HTML> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Does anyone have the stylesheet he used to repro this behavior? Thanks!

Can someone confirm that what is being described stems from a bug in MSXML? I'm recalling something about it but I'm not sure of the details.... Thanks--!
