hi ,


i'm using xerces parser.

when i do doc.normalize();
where doc is a Document object


it's not functioning the way it should.
that's 

Interface Node

Normalize() 
          Puts all Text nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath
this Node , including attribute nodes, into a "normal" form where only
markup (e.g., tags, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and
entity references) separates Text nodes, i.e., there are neither adjacent
Text nodes nor empty Text nodes.


this is just a part of xml but on serialization i still see empty text
nodes.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root> <CoApplicantMain Value="2">  <CoApplicant> <ConsumerInfo>
<Salutation>Mr</Saluta
me> <OtherIncomeSource>Business</OtherIncomeSource>
<MonthlyHousingPayment>2000</Monthl
fAcctNum>4400</CreditRefAcctNum> </CreditReference> <CreditReference>
<CreditRefName>CR
> <BankRefPhone>87113123</BankRefPhone>
<BankRefDateOpened>19980505</BankRefDateOpened>
y>Norwood</City> <State>MA</State> <PostalCode>02062</PostalCode>
<Country>USA</Country
reditReferenceMain Value="2"> <CreditReference>
<CreditRefName>CRDReference1</CreditRef
RefAcctNumber>12132 </BankRefAcctNumber>
<BankRefAcctBalance>35000</BankRefAcctBalance>




it's fairly obvious

take for example the first line

<root> <CoApplicantMain Value="2">  <CoApplicant> <ConsumerInfo>
<Salutation>Mr</Saluta


now after normalization it should be


<root><CoApplicantMain
Value="2"><CoApplicant><ConsumerInfo><Salutation>Mr</Saluta

with no dangling whitespaces.


can anybody help?/


thanks
