Re: [xsl] Preventing tags from collapsing

[Cas Tuyn <Cas.Tuyn@xxxxxxxx>]

Ben,

I inserted an html comment:

<script ...><!--Leave this here to solve and IE bug--></script>

because I found the problem while using the Nvu 0.81 (X)HTML editor 
which insists on collapsing empty tags into self-contained tags. Because 
a few people still insist on using IE here, above tag will remind HTML 
coders to not remove it.

If you're doing XML to HTML via XSLT it is less likely that people will 
later hand-edit the HTML, so you can get away with just a space in the tag.
