Subject: [xsl] Empty textarea tag in stylesheet From: "Charles Knell" <cknell@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 16 May 2002 09:44:56 -0700 |
I have read over the history of this topic on the list and find the last posting was about ten months ago. I have tried all the approaches suggested (e.g., changing the output type to "text/html", putting a #&160; between the opening and closing tags) and find that neither of them works. Let me be precise on that. Neither of these work with Xalan or the Oracle parser. The Microsft parser has no trouble outputting both an opening and a closing textarea tag when there is no content, even without changing the output type to text/html, but nothing so far has got me around this with the Oracle parser, which is required since I am doing the transform from a PL/SQL procedure. If the issue isn't immediately clear, let me explain. When the parser collapses an empty textarea tag set (<textarea></textarea> becomes <textarea />), the browser simply puts all of the document beyond that point into the textarea and displays it as literal, rather than parsing it as HTML markup. I'm using one stylesheet and a data document to produce a second stylesheet which will, in turn, be combined with a second data document to produce, finally, HTML. At this point, the only thing standing in my way is this collapsed textarea tag. I'm hoping that the state of the art has advanced since this subject was last raised, and that one of you knows a way to force an empty opening and closing tag into the second stylesheet. Thanks for any light you can shed. -- Charles Knell cknell@xxxxxxxxxx - email XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
