Wow. I had been under the same impression as Brad, about white space and carriage returns between XML elements. I like my XML readable, to the point of putting an extra carriage return between (to me) significant elements (after event-handler tags in MG configs, for instance). I knew there was no way to tell the XML to leave those extra returns in there, since it's all elements to XML... had no idea line breaks and white space were considered "nodes". Perhaps some stuff I thought was broke really wasn't... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
