Re: strip-spaces

Thanks,
Steven

Thanks for the prompt response Colin.

It is, in fact, the document content that is not being stripped, as I look at this more closely. So, your observation does not suggest the problem (but it was a worthy observation none-the-less).

It is the text generated by the apply-templates calls that is not striped. They leave tabs behind which cause no problem in decent browsers like Safari and Firefox - but breaks the layout in IE.

I'm using Saxon 9.

With respect,
Steven

Dear List,

I have

<xsl:output
     indent="no"
     method="xhtml"
     doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
     doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd
" />
<xsl:strip-space
     elements="*" />

in a style sheet, and the following template:

 <xsl:template
     match="foobar">
     <xsl:element
         name="span">
         <xsl:attribute
             name="class">c</xsl:attribute>
         <xsl:element
             name="div">
             <xsl:attribute
                 name="class">d</xsl:attribute>
             <xsl:attribute
                 name="style">display:none</xsl:attribute>
             <xsl:element
                 name="p">
                 <xsl:attribute
                     name="style">text-transform:capitalize;text-
align:left;</xsl:attribute>
                 <xsl:element
                     name="em">
                     <xsl:apply-templates
                         select="t" />
                 </xsl:element>
             </xsl:element>
             <xsl:element
                 name="p">
                 <xsl:apply-templates
                     select="d" />
             </xsl:element>
         </xsl:element>
         <xsl:apply-templates
             select="t" />
     </xsl:element>
 </xsl:template>

For some reason this template alone, of all the many templates I have
in this style sheet, is not stripped - and that failure to strip
produces a faulty layout in IE (spit).

I've tried all permutations but I don't understand why it is not
stripped. Can someone enlighten me?

Sincerely,
Steven
