See snip from MSXML SDK: Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) 4.0 - DOM Reference See Also text Property | xml Property Applies to: DOMDocument Language C/C++ Script Visual Basic Show All preserveWhiteSpace Property [Script] Specifies the default white space handling. [Script] Script Syntax boolVal = objXMLDOMDocument.preserveWhiteSpace; objXMLDOMDocument.preserveWhiteSpace = boolVal; Example The following script example first loads and displays a file with the preserveWhiteSpace property set to True and then reloads and displays the file with the preserveWhiteSpace property set to False. var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0"); xmlDoc.async = false; xmlDoc.preserveWhiteSpace = true; xmlDoc.load("books.xml"); alert(xmlDoc.xml); xmlDoc.async = false; xmlDoc.preserveWhiteSpace = false; xmlDoc.load("books.xml"); alert(xmlDoc.xml); [Visual Basic] Visual Basic Syntax boolVal = objXMLDOMDocument.preserveWhiteSpace; objXMLDOMDocument.preserveWhiteSpace = boolVal; Example The following MicrosoftŽ Visual BasicŽ example first loads and displays a file with the preserveWhiteSpace property set to True and then reloads and displays the file with the preserveWhiteSpace property set to False. Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument40 xmlDoc.async = False xmlDoc.preserveWhiteSpace = True xmlDoc.Load ("books.xml") MsgBox xmlDoc.xml xmlDoc.async = False xmlDoc.preserveWhiteSpace = False xmlDoc.Load ("books.xml") MsgBox xmlDoc.xml [C/C++] C/C++ Syntax HRESULT get_preserveWhiteSpace( VARIANT_BOOL *isPreserving); HRESULT put_preserveWhiteSpace( VARIANT_BOOL isPreserving); Parameters isPreserving [out, retval][in] The value that indicates whether default processing preserves white space. C/C++ Return Values S_OK The value returned if successful. E_INVALIDARG (for get_preserveWhiteSpace only) The value returned if isPreserving is Null. Remarks Boolean. The property is read/write. This property is initialized to False. The preserveWhiteSpace property specifies the default white space handling. When preserveWhiteSpace is True, all white space is preserved, regardless of any xml:space attributes specified in the document type definition (DTD). It is equivalent to having an xml:space= "preserve" attribute on every element. When preserveWhiteSpace is False, the values of any xml:space attributes determine where white space is preserved. The xml property does not preserve white space exactly as it appears in the original document. Instead, the object model replaces white space present in the original document with a single newline character in the representation returned by the xml property. In a similar way, the text property contains a representation without the leading and trailing spaces and replaces multiple intervening white space characters between words with a single space character. The text and xml properties preserve white space when the preserveWhiteSpace property is set to True and xml:space on the XML element has the value "preserve."
