Johans Marvin Taboada Villca commented on XALANJ-1906: ------------------------------------------------------ Vote to solve this issue. I'm having same issue but this time with empty anchor elements and CSS. I'll quote Sourceforge's https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=373747&aid=1803803&group_id=21935 " Resulting xhtml output arises Mozilla's #265324 in Core component (same problem in IE). Generated empty anchor (<a id="some-id" />) element give CSS problems when applying CSS styling, example css snippet: a { color: blue; text-decoration: underline; } a:hover { background: rgb(75%,75%,100%); color: blue; text-decoration: underline; } " > C.3. Element Minimization and Empty Element Content It's not a rule, rather guidelines, but I think compatibility it's Xalan-J's concern. Maybe there could be a ''compatibility'' flag for XHTML output where noticed in XSL stylesheets (an extension)?. > [xhtml output] Empty element form for non EMPTY declared elements > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: XALANJ-1906 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-1906 > Project: XalanJ2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Serialization > Affects Versions: 2.2.0 > Environment: Operating System: All > Platform: All > Reporter: Marco > Priority: Minor > > - The stylesheet: > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > > > > <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" > > xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> > > > > <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" indent="yes" > > omit-xml-declaration="no" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 > Strict//EN" > > doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" > > /> > > > > <xsl:template match="/"> > > <html> > > <head> > > <title>bug test</title> > > </head> > > <body> > > <div></div> > > </body> > > </html> > > </xsl:template> > > > > </xsl:stylesheet> > - The output: > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> > > <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" > "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> > > <html> > > <head> > > <title>bug test</title> > > </head> > > <body> > > <div /> > > </body> > > </html> > - The standards: > > Empty-element tags MAY be used for any element which has no content, > > whether or not it is declared using the keyword EMPTY. > > For interoperability, the empty-element tag SHOULD be used, and > > SHOULD only be used, for elements which are declared EMPTY. > (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-starttags) > > C.3.
