Hi Cheluus,

if you don't us a dtd for your document, the xml parser could not identify
the characters between the start tag of and start tag of as
ignorable whitespaces. Therefore your tag has three children: one
text node containing the carriage return plus your indent of , one
element node for and another text node containing the carriage
return after the end tag of and your indent of the end tag of .

Therefore you'll have to use a DTD or your program have to be prepared to
find those text nodes. Instead of treating the result of getFirstChildNode
as an element node, you can test whether it is a text node containing only
whitespace characters and move to the next sibling.

Hope this helps,

BTW: This is not a xalan related question.
