Ok so I was up till 3 AM trying to figure out why normalize is not removing white space. I have nothing left to normalize() except my brain. Any help would be appreciated.
Code snippit to remove children & parents
********************************
if( !elemSave ){
while( ((Element) n).hasChildNodes() ) {
((Element) n).removeChild( ((Element) n).getLastChild() );
((Element) n).getParentNode().normalize();
}
//have tried normalize here doesnt close the spaces
((Element) n).getParentNode().removeChild((Element) n);
//tried normalize here doesnt close the spaces
}
document.normalize();
return document;
