Has anyone seen formatting issues when trying to do removeChild on an Element (Property) If so I would be in your debt if you could tell me what method I should use to clean up the XML.

I want the spaces out of the XML

remove children & parents
********************************
if( !elemSave ){
while( ((Element) n).hasChildNodes() ) {
((Element) n).removeChild( ((Element) n).getLastChild() );
}
((Element) n).getParentNode().removeChild((Element) n);
}
return document;

------------------------XML RESULT-----------------------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
