I'm getting tons of "Text - Empty Text Node" lines in IE's developer toolbar, on almost all the sites i dev. I don't mind their existence, but it makes it much harder to find code. Is there a way to hide "Text - Empty Text Node" from showing?
PS: This is the "F12 developer tools" inside IE9.
PPS: I'm NOT looking for a "rewrite your code to prevent 'Text - Empty Text Node' from appearing" solution.
No, it can not be done. Sorry. It is showing the true DOM tree, rather than how other developer tools simplify the result. Opera Dragonfly has an option to switch to a similar style, but F12 doesn’t have the reverse.
However, IE11 will have a new version of F12, which looks like it has the same, more simplified view: http://mcakins.wordpress.com/2013/05/02/internet-explorer-11-brings-massive-upgrade-to-f12-developer-tools/
