my mistake SAX has nothing to do with my problem...rather Xalan.
My input xml file contains empty elements that I need to carry the
corresponding attribute values for each of these empty elements.
I'm sorry, I don't understand your English, could you explain it in XML?
As I asked before, what does your input look like, and what do you want
your output to look like?
Of course when my transform complete I am stuck with XHTML
that contains
my favorite NONbreaking Space character.
I don't understand the "Of course", I don't know why your output has
NBSP characters, and I don't know why you want to get rid of them.
Need to have my XHTML output to contain
<td style="bla" ..etc> {space currently is occupied by the
NONbreaking
Space character}. Need to replace when the actual element is
empty the
{NONbreaking Space character with a valid space holding character}
Is the input element empty, or does it contain a non-breaking space
character? I am completely confused.
Attempting to include the string <xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;nbsp;</xsl:text> without much
luck at the moment.
You said before that you didn't want NBSP characters, so why are you
writing code that's designed to generate them?
What is a best practice method for first determining if a element is
empty; then replace that NONbreaking Space character with a character
that will parse properly with Xalan?
If the element is empty then by definition it doesn't contain a
non-breaking space character.
Non-breaking space characters are perfectly legal in XML and will not
cause Xalan any problems.

Michael,
input xml file contains elements that are not empty but contain
<OBJECT> </OBJECT> This nonbreaking space character is needed to
keep the space in this element.
When I run my transform the XHTML output contains <OBJECT>nbsp;</OBJECT>
which of course is wrong. I need the final XHTML output to contain
<OBJECT> </OBJECT>.
What do I need to add to my transform to assure that when my OBJECT
element contains a nonbreaking space character ; my transformed XHTML
output contains <OBJECT> </OBJECT>.
