Subject: Re: [xsl] Result still indented despite indent="no" From: Mukul Gandhi <mukul_gandhi@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2005 08:19:48 -0800 (PST) |
Hi David, Thanks for your response. I did some searching, and found this link - http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0900/xml/ It mentions, MSXML 3.0 is XSLT 1.0/XPath 1.0 compliant. Hence IE 6 should show XSLT 1.0 behaviour (since it uses MSXML 3.0). But it shows a bug with xsl:preserve-space instruction. Do you agree that it is bug? You are saying IE 6's default setting for preservewhitespace property is "false". Is it possible to make it true? I found this example in MSXML4 SDK help, regarding preserveWhiteSpace property - var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0"); xmlDoc.async = false; xmlDoc.preserveWhiteSpace = true; xmlDoc.load("books.xml"); alert(xmlDoc.xml); It seems, its possible to change preserveWhiteSpace property with script only. You earlier gave this workaround in response to Mr. Holman's query - >if anyone knew how to trigger this in the browser >environment. your answer - "simplest (which is what I do) is to give in to overwhelming force and stick xml:space="preserve" on the top level element of your source file. Then styling with a stylesheet refenced via the xml-styleshet Pi more or less works as expected. Plan b is to use xml-stylesheet PI to reference a styleseet that generates a small html file that uses javascript to reload the xml source after setting preserveWhiteSpace." So it seems, using scripts is 1st option to preserve spaces in IE.. Or use xml:space="preserve" on the top level element of source file (as you suggested). Or use a JavaScript workaround as 3rd solution (as you suggested).. I feel, this will cause problem to develop cross-browser applications..
