I would like to select Nodes with boId attribute which are empty. I am
using an XPath expression:

also sets IsEmpty field of Prem node to false.
Whose fault is it - mine or MS?

Maybe a whitespace issue. Try:
//*[@boId and not(normalize-space())]

I would like to select Nodes with boId attribute which are empty. I am
using an XPath expression:
"//*[@boId and not(text())]"
IN English that means "all elements having attribute bold and not having
at least one child text node". Plcy and Prem both satisfy this condition.
Try wider - select nodes that have no child nodes of any type at all:
"//*[@boId and not(node())]"

Yes, but it has end tag, so in XmlReader/XPathNavigator terms isn't
empty element:
XPathNavigator. IsEmptyElement Property
When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the
current node is an empty element without an end element tag. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...tyelement.aspx

Hello All,
I ran into a problem while dynamically constructing XHTML documents using
minidom. If you create a script tag such as:
script_node_0 = self.doc.createElement("script")
script_node_0.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript")
script_node_0.setAttribute("src", "../test.js")
minidom renders it as:

How do I detect empty tags if I have the DOM document?
For example: <br /> and <br></br>
I tried org.w3c.dom.Node.getFirstChild(), it returns null for both <br

I also tried getNodeValue(), they both returns null also.
I know <br /> and <br></br> are the same from the xml spec. Is there
any way to tell the different syntax using DOM parser?

According to the specs
(http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#h-12.2), the <a> element
requires an end tag. And so, when we use <A NAME="foo"> in HTML 2.0 to
4.01, it won't validate, it'll want to find the </A> tag.
However, when I write a document containing, say, <a name="foo" /> it
validates in XHTML 1.0.
I'm obviously missing something here, as this confuses me somewhat. Does
the magical / make the empty a element valid?...

I have a dataset that has DBNull in certain columns, now when I write

in the XML. How to do that ?
I don't understand why there is no simple option to specify the output
format, or did I miss something ?

Hi,
I'm using XmlSerializer to create an object from the XML string. I
would like to know whether I can get a null value for an empty XML
element.
Actually the XmlSerializer assigns "" (empty string) for a string
if the corresponding element is missing in the XML.
Input XML:
