Re: Empty text node in DOM tree

I was facing a similar problem with the empty text nodes in the DOM, but for
me it was a but simple as I was serializing the entire DOM and passing it
over to a Java backend over a socket. There I just did a regular expression
replacement:
domString = Pattern.compile("\\s+").matcher(domString).replaceAll(" ");

This removed all the text nodes having multiple \n and \t etc but it still
gives me some text nodes having some special characters in them and not just
whitespaces. I don't know what to do with these text nodes as they are not
even visible on the page... Could not find a generic function to replace all
these junk/control/invisible characters before the parsing too...
