[xsl] XSL and Blank Textarea

[Tim Kyle <tk12 at ukc dot ac dot uk>]

Hi-

I found this in the archives sent out in August 2000. Today I am
using XALAN, and outputting as html. Has anyone found a solution
to this? I have also used the hack   ... but surely by now
the Xalan folks would have this one figured out ... Any advice
would be appreciated.

Here's the post:

I want to generate a HTML-form to insert data from a
XSL stylesheet.

In the stylesheet I define a textarea like this:
<TEXTAREA name=".." rows=".." cols=".."></TEXTAREA>.
The XSLT-processor (Xalan) optimizes my code and the
result is this: <TEXTAREA name=".." rows=".."
cols=".."/>. I know that this correct but my browser
does not understand it.

I solved this problem by presetting the textarea with
a blank (#&160;). It works but it does not look good.

Isn't there another way to do it??



Thanks,

Tim A. Kyle
