Re: having problem implementing 'strip-space'

Hello,
I am not having any luck getting my xslt scripts to remove the whitespace
and carraige returns from my xml upon conversion to html. The main reason I
need to have the space removed is that I have event handler's w/ javascript
in them that are not working due to the carraige returns in the output which
looks like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
<a href="javascript:bigFig('
				FIG01-01','../fig/big/
				FIG01-01.JPG
			','
				FIG01-01');"><img border="0"
src="../fig/thm/
				FIG01-01.JPG
			" alt="
				FIG01-01" name="my
				FIG01-01"></a>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
the xsl looks like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
					<xsl:for-each select="@NUM">
						<xsl:variable
name="imagelabel"><xsl:value-of select="../TTL" /></xsl:variable>
						<xsl:variable
name="imagefilename"><xsl:value-of select="//CHAP/@NUM" />-<xsl:value-of
select="." /></xsl:variable>
						<tr><td valign="top"
class="text">
							<a>
	
<xsl:attribute name="href">
	
<xsl:text>javascript:bigFig('</xsl:text>
	
<xsl:value-of select="$imagefilename" />
	
<xsl:text>','../fig/big/</xsl:text>
	
<xsl:value-of select="$imagefilename" />
	
<xsl:text>.jpg','</xsl:text>
	
<xsl:value-of select="$imagefilename" />
	
<xsl:text>');</xsl:text>
	
</xsl:attribute>

								<img
border="0" width="150">
	
<xsl:attribute name="src">
	
<xsl:text>../fig/thm/</xsl:text>
	
<xsl:value-of select="$imagefilename" />
	
<xsl:text>.jpg</xsl:text>
	
</xsl:attribute>
	
<xsl:attribute name="alt">
	
<xsl:value-of select="$imagefilename" />
	
</xsl:attribute>
	
<xsl:attribute name="name">
	
<xsl:text>my</xsl:text>
	
<xsl:value-of select="$imagefilename" />
	
</xsl:attribute>
								</img>

							</a>
							<br/>
						</td></tr>
					</xsl:for-each>

I've tried every implementation of: <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
imaginable.

I stumbled upon a suggestion to use the 'normalize()' function just recently
in relation to this sort of problem. Does anyone know how it might be
implemented in this scenario?

Thanks in advance,
Steve
