Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Lukas Theussl (lukas_theussl) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: empty elements are always expanded Initial Comment: The current XMLWriter always expands empty elements (ie, <br/> becomes <br></br>). This is a problem because some browsers (IE) interprete <br></br> as two newlines instead of one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nikolay Metchev (nikolaymetchev) Date: 2006-02-27 18:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=637710 The problem seems to be in XMLWriter.writeElement() line 941. If the element has a namespace defined then it has nonzero nodecounts and doesn't call the writeEmptyElementClose() method. The check should be enhanced to check if the element doesn't have any child elements or text nodes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Lance D Bader (ldbader) Date: 2005-12-08 21:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=615534 Actually, the impact goes beyond double spacing in the Internet Explorer. The Maven xDoc plug-in uses dom4J while generating the XHTML output and this defect causes it to generate explicit end tags for <link>, <meta>, and <input> even if the unary format is used in the XML input file. Since content is prohibited in these elements, explicit end tags are considered "contrary to industry standards". There can be surprising repercussions in some XSLT transformations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=116035&aid=1277785&group_id=16035 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
