IBM The normalizeDocument method method acts as if the document was going through a save and load cycle, putting the document in a "normal" form. Create an Element and a text node and verify the nodeValue of this text node and append these to this Document. If supported, invoke the setParameter method on this domconfiguration object to set the "element-content-whitespace" feature to false. Invoke the normalizeDocument method and verify if the text node has been discarded. Neil Delima 2002-06-10
