Hi Friends,
I have problem in displaying data in html which contain numeric space character in XML
Here is my XML.
<Context>
<BrickletContentOne> </BrickletContentOne>
<BrickletLinksOne>BrickletLinksOne</BrickletLinksOne>
</Context>
In Above XML I have <BrickletContentOne> which contain which represent empty space.
I am using XSL to print the element value in html like this.
<xsl:stylesheet xmlnssl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xmlns:tns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<xsl:output method="html" />
<xsl:template match="/" >
<xsl:apply-templates select="Context" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:variable name="strBValue" select="/Context/BrickletContentOne" />
<xsl:variable name="tempStrValue" select="$strBValue" />
<xsl:template match="Context">
<table>
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="BrickletContentOne" />
</tr>
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="BrickletLinksOne" />
</tr>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="BrickletContentOne">
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="$tempStrValue" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when I do XSLTransformation I am getting output like this instead of empty space.
<table>
<tr>????????</tr>
<tr>BrickletLinksOne</tr>
</table>
I want OutPut like this
<table>
<tr></tr>
<tr>BrickletLinksOne</tr>
</table>
Is there any way to overcome this issue in XSL.
Thanks
Ashok

I would try:
<xsl:template match="BrickletContentOne">
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>
</xsl:template>
Good Luck

First, get rid of that ridiculous disable-output-escaping="yes". The element in question doesn't contain any characters that need to be escaped, but if it did, it would be quite wrong not to escape them.
I suspect that the spaces in the source document are actually non-breaking spaces (xA0). If your source document is encoded in iso-8859-1 and you're looking at it using software that only understands iso-8859-1, then the output document will contain the non-breaking-spaces encoded in UTF-8, which means they will display incorrectly if you look at them using software that doesn't understand UTF-8. Either get yourself a text editor that understands UTF-8, or produce the output in a different encoding, e.g. by writing <xsl:output encoding="iso-8859-1"/>.
