I'm sorry, I don't understand your English, could you explain it in XML? As I asked before, what does your input look like, and what do you want your output to look like? > > Of course when my transform complete I am stuck with XHTML > that contains > my favorite NONbreaking Space character. I don't understand the "Of course", I don't know why your output has NBSP characters, and I don't know why you want to get rid of them. > Need to have my XHTML output to contain > > <td style="bla" ..etc> {space currently is occupied by the > NONbreaking > Space character}.

I am completely confused. > Attempting to include the string <xsl:text > disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;nbsp;</xsl:text> without much > luck at the moment. You said before that you didn't want NBSP characters, so why are you writing code that's designed to generate them? > > What is a best practice method for first determining if a element is > empty; then replace that NONbreaking Space character with a character > that will parse properly with Xalan? > If the element is empty then by definition it doesn't contain a non-breaking space character. Non-breaking space characters are perfectly legal in XML and will not cause Xalan any problems. Michael Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
