It is not because there is whitespace where you say.  That is perfectly OK.
You need to show us the output you got from the transformation, and more
accurate information on where the error occurred, as well as saying how you
performed the transformation.  For example, is the browser complaining about
something is the transformed output, or aobut something in the stylesheet,
or something elsewhere in the source document? I can't tell.

No doubt the answer is simple, but you have not supplied enough information.
