I came across this on the web a while back: //original author http://www.wolfenhex.com public static function format(node, tab):String { if (tab == undefined) tab = ""; if(node.nodeName == null) return format(node.firstChild, tab); var s:String = "<" + node.nodeName; for(var a:String in node.attributes) s += " " + a + "=\"" + node.attributes[a]+ "\""; if(!node.hasChildNodes()) { s += " />"; return tab + s + newline; } s += ">"; if(node.firstChild.nodeType == 3) s += node.firstChild.nodeValue; else { s += newline; for(var i:Number = 0; i < node.childNodes.length; i++) s += format( node.childNodes[i], tab + "\t"); s += tab; } s += "</"+node.nodeName+">"; return tab + s + newline; }
