Using sendAndLoad() to retrieve xml from a server, the response is stored in a
new XML object. stripWhite=true DOES NOT eliminate whitespace between nodes.

Using sendAndLoad() to retrieve xml from a local doc.xml, stripWhite=true DOES
eliminate whitespace between nodes.

Unfortunately I need to load xml from a server. How can I strip the whitespace
from xml that is loaded from the server?

Not surprising really. The correct property is ignoreWhite, not
stripWhite. Your subject line is correct, but not the code in your post.

ignoreWhite = true;

sry about that. The code I am using is correct. I quoted it wrong (not
surprising). But does this make my post anymore suprising? I have come accross
some user groups that have experienced this same issue and appear to simply
accept it as a fact of life.

I had the same problem with ignoreWhite.

The problem was :
When it's loaded with ignoreWhite = false, it was loaded correctly with

myXML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = false;
myXML.onLoad = function(success) {
if(success) {
myXML.onLoad
rootElement = this.firstChild.nextSibling;
trace(rootElement);
}
}


***************
In order that this works with
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;

rootElement should be declared as
rootElement = this.firstChild;
and not rootElement = this.firstChild.nextSibling;

Hope this helps
