User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050926 Firefox/1.6a1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050926 Firefox/1.6a1 10.1 of the ECMA spec says that toXMLString should strip leading and trailing spaces from a text node iff prettyPrint is true. This test shows that the Mozilla E4X always strips spaces from some text nodes irrespective of the prettyPrint setting. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: var textAfterSpan = "<p><span> A sentence with a leading </span> and then one with another leading space.</p>"; var xmlText = new XML(textAfterSpan); XML.prettyPrinting = false; var spanText = xmlText.children()[0].toXMLString(); var followingText = xmlText.children()[1].toXMLString(); XML.prettyPrinting = true; var spanTextPretty = xmlText.children()[0].toXMLString(); var followingTextPretty = xmlText.children()[1].toXMLString(); // All ok: whitespace is preserved in spanText so it isn't the same as // its "pretty" equivalent if(spanText == spanTextPretty) alert("Got bug: problem with whitespace in text inside embedded tags"); // Bug: leading whitespace removed no matter what if(followingText == followingTextPretty) alert("Got bug: problem with whitespace in text following an embedded tag");

You need to set XML.ignoreWhitespace = false; in addition to clearing XML.prettyPrinting to see whitespace preserved from input to toXMLString output. /be
