So im having an issue with sharedObjects. At least I think thats where the problem lies.

I have a form that I use to save user data. I save it to and XML object and save that as data in a SharedObject. My issue is with leading whitespaces. I want to be able to support leading whitespaces and when I check the value of the xml up to and through output the leading whitespaces are still visible. However when I reload the page, the sharedobject loads with the leading whitespaces removed.

Does anybody know why this might be? Thanks in advance.
