Suppress display of Text - Empty Text Node in IE developer toolbar

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/

IE7 creates empty text notes between floated elements

This could actually be caused by line-breaks in your code.

Strip them and see if it still does that.

jquery - removing IE's Empty Text Nodes

Found the answer here:

Remove whitespace and line breaks between HTML elements using jQuery

There is a bug in IE9 that was causing my issue:

Inconsistent Whitespace Text Nodes in Internet Explorer

IE tries to be helpful and hides text nodes that contain only whitespace.

In the following:

<p>
<input>
</p>

W3C DOM spec says that <p> has 3 child nodes ("\n", <input> and "\n"), IE will pretend there's only one.

The solution is to skip text nodes in all browsers:

var node = element.firstChild;
while(node && node.nodeType == 3) node = node.nextSibling;

Popular JS frameworks have functions for such things.

Why do we get Empty Text Nodes in a simple Document

All characters, including line breaks, generate text nodes.

If you remove the line breaks, the empty text nodes will disappear. For instance changing from

<head>
<title>Start Here</title>

<head><title>Start Here</title>

will remove the empty text node from the beginning of the head block.

As far as I know, you can't control the visibility of empty text nodes in IE9 developer toolbar either. As a workaround you could install and use Firebug Lite that gives you a cleaner tree representation of the elements:

Please note that the empty text nodes are just a normal part of your document's structure and nothing you should be worrying about -- just be aware that even line breaks generate them.
