Re: Suppress whitespace generation?

2002-02-27 Thread Steve Morrison 


I suggest the  tag in the jstl (and probably other tags as well) should 
trim their content.  Considering:

  ...
  ...
  ...
  ...

produces 5 unnecessary newlines and spaces.  Since you never expect content to be
between a  and a  or  it's probably ok to remove it.

RE: Suppress whitespace generation?

2002-02-27 Thread Shawn Bayern 

Hi Chris,

The question is somewhat general.  For instance, depending on your needs,
you can write a tag that trims its BodyContent (using String.trim()) and
simply contain other tags within it.  So that:

  

 foo

  

would produce equivalent output to

  foo

If you're suggesting, by contrast, that a particular taglib in Jakarta
Taglibs produces unwanted whitespce, let us know, and the tag libraries
could be patched to avoid this, or (as in the case of the Input taglib) to
take a flag that switches behavior between "pretty printing" and avoidance
of unnecessary whitespace.

To help you further, I think we'd need more information about exactly what
problem you're experiencing.

I guess you could write a filter that parses out all the linefeeds not
wanted in the response.

hope it helps

Haven't heard any responses to my earlier question below. Thought I'd poke

Hi,

How does one suppress whitespace that is generated by a tag library?

Thanks,
