Or, the DOM implementation uses node->normalize() function which removes the whitespaces and joins all adjacent text nodes. An expected normalization of the nodes is taken into considereation by I18N Working Group, as is stated on the DOM core website. Is the user's job to preserve whitespaces (e.g) for correct output when using DOM implementations? I'm new on this mail-list, so forgive me if i'm asking something that already was asked, but i didn't quite finished browsing all the articles in the mail-list... __________________________________________________________________ Razvan Costea-Barlutiu Department of Radiology, The University of Chicago 5841 South Maryland Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60637 Phone: (773)834-5106 E-Mail: cbrazvan@baltan.bsd.uchicago.edu
