Hello Steve,
your XSL processor seems to be buggy. "Empty" whitespace nodes are
stripped by default in XSL (empty means consisting only of whitespace
characters: 	 (Tab), + (line feed + carriage return),
 (space)). You already use the correct solution with <xsl:text/>.
You can try:
<xsl:attribute name="href">javascript:bigFig('<xsl:value-of
select="$imagefilename"/>', '../fig/big/<xsl:value-of
select="$imagefilename"/>.jpg', '<xsl:value-of
select="$imagefilename"/>');</xsl:attribute>
(in one line without any whitespace character)
or:
<a href="javascript:bigFig('{$imagefilename}',
'../fig/big/{$imagefilename}.jpg','{$imagefilename}');"/>
(attribute value templates)
Regards,
Joerg

Hello,
I am not having any luck getting my xslt scripts to remove the whitespace
and carraige returns from my xml upon conversion to html. The main reason I
need to have the space removed is that I have event handler's w/ javascript
in them that are not working due to the carraige returns in the output which
looks like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
<a href="javascript:bigFig('
FIG01-01','../fig/big/
FIG01-01.JPG
','
FIG01-01');"><img border="0"
src="../fig/thm/
FIG01-01.JPG
" alt="
FIG01-01" name="my
FIG01-01"></a>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
the xsl looks like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
<xsl:for-each select="@NUM">
<xsl:variable
name="imagelabel"><xsl:value-of select="../TTL" /></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable
name="imagefilename"><xsl:value-of select="//CHAP/@NUM" />-<xsl:value-of
select="." /></xsl:variable>
<tr><td valign="top"
class="text">
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:text>javascript:bigFig('</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$imagefilename" />
<xsl:text>','../fig/big/</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$imagefilename" />
<xsl:text>.jpg','</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$imagefilename" />
<xsl:text>');</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
<img
border="0" width="150">
<xsl:attribute name="src">
<xsl:text>../fig/thm/</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$imagefilename" />
<xsl:text>.jpg</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="alt">
<xsl:value-of select="$imagefilename" />
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:text>my</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$imagefilename" />
</xsl:attribute>
</img>
</a>
<br/>
</td></tr>
</xsl:for-each>

I've tried every implementation of: <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
imaginable.
I stumbled upon a suggestion to use the 'normalize()' function just recently
in relation to this sort of problem. Does anyone know how it might be
implemented in this scenario?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks in advance,
Steve
