You can use translate, a XPath function, with an empty replace string.

translate($data, " ", "")

This cannot work as you need to know the structure of the document to apply translate.

I don't think this is possible, I've been searching the whole internet, and nothing came up. XSLT is such a stupid standard.

If you are using .NET, have you considered using Script Blocks using msxsl:script to create your own XSLT trimming function?

An even better solution is to use XsltArgumentList.

Also, what is normalize-space not doing to fit your needs?

I'm new to schematron and can't find any forums related to it, so if anyone can help I would appreciate it.

I want to check that if an element has a child (it might not) that the child is one of a pre-defined set of elements.

Eg.

if we have a fish_tank element it could have child elements of fish, gravel, filters, pirate_ship, etc

So here is what I think the scheme would be

<pattern name="aquarium">
    <rule context="child::fish_tank">
        <assert test="name()='fish' or name()='gravel' or name='pirate_ship'">Not a valid element!</assert>
    </rule>
</pattern>

It's possible I could help however I am not clear what you are attempting to do.

That is unclear since you don't view anything in HTML. One views HTML in a browser.

Using XSL with removal of XSL reference. No idea what that means.

If I have a XML like this which I am loading into javascript using DomDocument object. Please note that this XML is having an "ampersand".

<DataSet>
	<Row>
		<NDOCUMENTID>499</NDOCUMENTID>
		<TDESCRIPTION>my &amp; god</TDESCRIPTION>
		<TDISPLAYNAME>my god</TDISPLAYNAME>
		<TTITLE>my god</TTITLE>
		<NPARENT_DOC_ID>0</NPARENT_DOC_ID>
		<NPARENT_FOLDER_ID>496</NPARENT_FOLDER_ID>
	</Row>
	<Row>
		<NDOCUMENTID>501</NDOCUMENTID>
		<TDESCRIPTION>Level 2Folder</TDESCRIPTION>
		<TDISPLAYNAME>Level 2Folder</TDISPLAYNAME>
		<TTITLE>Level 2Folder</TTITLE>
		<NPARENT_DOC_ID>0</NPARENT_DOC_ID>
		<NPARENT_FOLDER_ID>500</NPARENT_FOLDER_ID>
	</Row>
</DataSet>

After loading into javascript DomDocument object selectNodes() returns 0.

var objXML = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DomDocument");
. . . .  // some code to load the above XML into objXML
objFolderNodes = objXML.selectNodes("//DataSet/Row[NPARENT_FOLDER_ID = '496']"); 

alert("objFolderNodes.length :"+objFolderNodes.length);

Please note that if I remove the '&', above code working fine.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, you have to repeat the explicit declarations in the document fragment:

<textbox xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2005/01/reportdefinition" name="textbox2">
    <rd:defaultname xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner">textbox2</rd:defaultname>
