Normalizes all descendent elements; combines two or more adjacent text nodes into one unified text node.
Syntax
oXMLDOMElement.normalize()
Remarks
This method converts all text node descendants of this element (at any depth) into a "normal" form where no text nodes are adjacent. In normal form, text nodes can be separated only by markup (such as tags, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references). The normal form is useful for operations that require a particular document tree structure, and ensures that the XMLDOM view of a document is identical when saved and reloaded.
Collapsed node objects are automatically deleted.
Applies To
