XSL transforming XML to HTML

Hello All,

    This is my first time to write to the group, and I am very much a novice
at this.  My problem is this:

I have written some XSL to transform some XML into HTML.  Listed below is
the XSL code, followed by the HTML, then followed by the desired HTML.  I am
using Apache.org's Xalan processor with XMLSpy 3.0; Can anyone tell me if
there are any built-in XSL functions that will allow me to avoid the <SPAN>
and <FONT> tags from being outputted on the next line after the <DIV> tag.
The reason being is that if they are all on one line, the browsers (IE 5.0
and NN 4.73) display them a little differently.  I currently have
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"> as a directive in my XSL file, but I
have also tried transforming w/o this directive, and the HTML output still
puts <SPAN>/<FONT> tags on the next line after the <DIV>.  I guess my
question boils down to whether there is a way to control the output of the
Xalan processor, specifically line returns, white space, and indentation?

XSL:

<div id="gold">
    <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="$contract='yearly'">
            <font>
            <xsl:value-of
select="$pagePath/cableSetup:servicePlan[3]/cableSetup:planYearlyCost"/>
            </font>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
            <span>
            <xsl:value-of
select="$pagePath/cableSetup:servicePlan[3]/cableSetup:planMonthlyCost"/>
            </span>
        </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
</div>

HTML:

<div id="gold">
    <span>Some Text</span>
</div>

-OR-

<dig id="gold">
    <font>Some Text</font>
</div>

desired HTML:

<div id="gold"><span>Some Text</span></div>

-OR-

<div id="gold"><font>Some Text</font></div>


Thank you much in advance,

Kien
