It actually helps by quite a bit to remove whitespace. /*********************************** * @method RemoveWhitespace * @param {Object} xml ************************************/ function RemoveWhitespace(xml) { var loopIndex; for (loopIndex = 0; loopIndex < xml.childNodes.length; loopIndex++) { var currentNode = xml.childNodes[loopIndex]; if (currentNode.nodeType == 1){RemoveWhitespace(currentNode);} if (((/^\s+$/.test(currentNode.nodeValue))) && (currentNode.nodeType == 3)) { xml.removeChild(xml.childNodes[loopIndex--]); } } } Try using this function. It actually helps by quite a bit to remove whitespace.

/***********************************
* @method RemoveWhitespace
* @param {Object} xml
************************************/
function RemoveWhitespace(xml)
{
var loopIndex;
for (loopIndex = 0; loopIndex < xml.childNodes.length; loopIndex++)
{
var currentNode = xml.childNodes[loopIndex];
if (currentNode.nodeType == 1){RemoveWhitespace(currentNode);}
if (((/^\s+$/.test(currentNode.nodeValue))) && (currentNode.nodeType == 3))

xml.removeChild(xml.childNodes[loopIndex--]);
