The Microsoft XML parser strips whitespace text nodes by default. (Indeed, when running in IE from an xml-stylesheet PI it's impossible to prevent this.) I use xml-stylesheet PI and if the xml is served to IE this is how the XSLT is initiated. However with <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/> I found IE _is_ preserving the whitespace while with indent="no" the whitespace gets striped. I cannot say for sure how the MS XML parser works, but if you think about "conditional comments", it may be possible, that parsing is done in more than one stage. Manfred
