texte = Hi folks,The issue I would appreciate some help with is spacing being added to the of a document, containing WebDNA, after being parsed.I have noticed this happening before in others code as well, but didn't think much of it till now. I have a template that has a good deal of WebDNA code (The head tags contain about 1300 lines). It sits at about 78K, but after parsing, it is received by the browser at between 330K and 375K (it actually fluctuates). At this size, some browsers start burping.Viewing source shows the ending pushed way (and I do mean *waaaay*) down the page, by phantom spaces.I started by removing the majority of the code and returning block by block to try to determine what was adding all that space, but soon found that each block added a little space to the server product. It appears to be an aggregate rather than one rotten block, and further appears to be coming from spacing and tabbing between tags and blocks (at least in part, it could be something else as well).We have converted all space bar spacing to tabs. This saved about 3K (hardly makes a dent). Interestingly enough, the phantom data in the view source code are all spaces (not tabs).I tried removing all spaces/tabs from some of the code, and it may have made some difference, but there's so much left with spaces, it's hard to tell.Does anyone know what actually is taking place? Is this just WebCat overhead? Any techniques to beat it?Thanks for you help!
