Neither is required. Neither is forbidden. When comparing the expected output to the actual output, it's important that your comparison code ignore insignificant differences like this. It's also necessary to ignore attribute ordering, whitespace in tags, and similar things. You probably won't be able to do a direct byte-per-byte comparison and expect it to match. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu XML in a Nutshell 3rd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian3/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596007647/cafeaulaitA/ref=nosim
