The application may choose to ignore the characters that don't need to be preserved. It becomes messy with the DOM because it's not crystal clear where the XML processor (parser) ends and the application begins. - Mike _____________________________________________________________________________ mike j. brown, software engineer at | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ webb.net in denver, colorado, USA | personal: http://hyperreal.org/~mike/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
