Unwanted blank spaced lines in html source of ASP templatized page.

Hi,

I use Teamsite templating for generating ASP pages. But when such an ASP page is rendered to browser and I see its html 'view source', I find many extra and unwanted blank spaced lines in between html tags.
When I traced back the code location in the corresponding ASP file and TPL file, I found that same blank lines are present in ASP file and some perl code is present in the corresponding location in TPL file. There is no output command used at this location in TPL file, only some server side perl script is causing blank lines to be rendered in final html output.

I don't want these many extra blank lines to appear in html source of the output page. Can you help me in this matter? Also if the issue is not clear to you, just let me know, I will provide some code example of the same.

Thanks a lot!

Hey Nikhil,
We also faced the same issue and by any means you remove all spaces and blank lines in between your TPL or Tags... in output source code would give you that.

However... it does not have any performance issue... so we dont care much about it. Smiley Happy

Hi Achin,

Thanks for replying. Though it doesn't have any performance impact, I need to remove blank lines for some other reasons. Please let me know if you come across any solution for this.

We have done somthing like this in one of the project, we created a sub in tpl which use to accept the value passed through dcr, there we use to remove the space.

I do not have the code with me right now but yes it is possible to remove the space.

Sailesh,

The spaces and lines, Nikhil was talking about are not being passed along with the values of the DCR, instead they are the part of interwoven code being wrapped along.

You may call it a bug within the product and as it does not harm in specific... so no one really cares about.

The only solution I've found is to push as much TPL code onto a single line, thus avoiding these extras line breaks in the output.

Actually - I prefer to do the entire PT in Perl - constructing the contents of the generated page in a single variable and then outputting it with a single iwpt_output() directive.

Yes, that is a great alternative. I really hate having to use those IW tags in my TPLs when you can do so much more with PERL.

Go figure.

Fish if you could, you would write a perl script to make coffee in the morning. Smiley Very Happy

Perhaps - but as I don't drink coffee - I lack the incentive ;-)
