</div>Hi Varun,<br>
The whitespace is part of your original xml; the xslt is only preserving that whitespace. Do you have any control over the construction of that original xml?<br>
<br>
It looks like it has been tidied and whitespace perhaps added. I think you will get what you want if the original has the newlines removed:<br>
<div class=""><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br>
<testNode><br>
<nodeInfo><br>
<nodePeriod nodeTime="600000000"/><nodeBase base="0" /></nodeInfo><br>
</testNode><br>
<br>
</div>does that get you what you're looking for? Is the whitespace actually necessary in the original or problematic in the result?<br>
