Re: Witango-Talk: Outputting DOM variable as Text

[Robert Garcia]

For some reason, when you output witango doms to text, it follows a strange output style. The way around this is to use XSLT. If you want your xml clean indented, try this, if your dom is local$mydom <@assign local$outstyle '<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="ISO-8859-1" indent="yes"/> <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:copy-of select="@*" /> <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>'> <@assign local$result '<@xslt local$thexml stylesheet="<@var local$outstyle>">'> Where local$result is your clean outputed xml in text. If you want your outputed xml to be without any added whitespace, change indent="yes" to indent="no" --  Robert Garcia President - BigHead Technology VP Application Development - eventpix.com 13653 West Park Dr Magalia, Ca 95954 ph: 530.645.4040 x222 fax: 530.645.4040 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bighead.net/ - http://eventpix.com/ On Apr 11, 2006, at 9:39 AM, John McGowan wrote: Anybody out there run into problems while outputting a DOM to text using the @VAR tag.  We're seeing it add a lot of extraneous spaces and carriage returns, causing some of our data to be incorrect.  It's especially bad when we use a cdata inside of an element like this. <element><![CDATA[Some Cdata Text Goes here]]></element> but what gets outputted is this. <element> <![CDATA[Some Cdata Text Goes here]]> </element> Which is bad, because when we go to pull out the value of "element" we get some extra spaces at the begining which were never intended to be there.  I thought about trying to use Xpath to narrow down to the first CDATA inside of the "element" but I don't think XPath can tell the difference between plain old text nodes and CDATA, that processing is done before the xslt processor gets a hold of it. We're using @DOMINSERT and @DOMREPLACE to build the document... on Witango 5.5 /John ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf
