Hi,

What function you are using to generate the XML?

Can you post a part of your code?

Hi,

Try this in the tags that you do not want to "compress" when blank:

        <CUSTOMER>

          <tt:cond check="initial(CUSTOMER)">  <tt:text> </tt:text>  </tt:cond>
          
          <tt:value ref="customer"/>
          
        </CUSTOMER>

I did this. and it works when i debug the code and see... but when i view it in XML browser.. it again compressess the start tag...

any suggestions?

[Former Member]

Hi,

This is the normal behavior in XML browser.

If you save to a file you see that it will have the start and end tag (open with notepad).
