This is a near fatal blow to using IE as an XML document browser. (For _documents_ marked up in XML as opposed to XML data files where there usually isn't any mixed content, and white space can all be safely dropped). If you have anything like a docbook or TEI or XHTML document that you are rendering to HTML via XSLT in IE then you are almost always going to silently lose interword spaces. In the example below only the space between one and two survives. Losing the space between two and three is especially bad as that's in the middle of a text node for Xpath so there's virtually no chance of detecting it from the stylesheet. David <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?> <!DOCTYPE html [ <!ENTITY a "two"> <!ENTITY b "three"> ]> <html> <body> one &a; &b; <b>four</b> <b>five</b> </body> </html> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
