http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9496 DOMParser will not ignore "ignorable" white space. [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |INVALID ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-07-03 22:25 ------- This is the common misconception. The so called *ignorable white space* is only defined in a context of DTD (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-white-space) validation: "A validating XML processor must also inform the application which of these characters constitute white space appearing in element content." However, XML Schema specification does not define *white space* nor requires processors to signal a white space. The DOM Level 3 Core (http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-DOM-Level-3-Core- 20020409/core.html#Text3-isWhitespaceInElementContent) was trying to address this issue and for now the agreement within the Working group is that ignorableWhitespace is set only if validating against DTD. If you feel that it is useful to make isWhitespaceInElementContent more generic, please send your comments/usecases to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list (http://www.w3.org/Mail/). Since the DOM Level 3 is a Working Draft the changes are still possible. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
