Hey all,

Thanks for the help!  Here is what I ended up with:

//text()[not(normalize-space(.) = '')]

Re: [xsl] XPath query syntax






Riiiight!  Right-o.  It tests for *child* br!  Thank

thought 
through that more ... and I will read up on this
business one of these,

That *is* the better syntax, but it didn't work
for me (under xalan),

It worked, it just didn't select what you expected.

select="/textarea/node()[not(br)]"

br selects child br nodes so node()[not(br)]
selects nodes that don't
have a br child nodes, which is all nodes in your
example.
You could use /textarea/node()[not(self::br)] but
its simpler just to use
/textarea/text()
