Spurious newline characters in xml form data

Question

I have been given a pdf form(XFA).  I have a button that the end user can click and when they do so, it posts the form data as XML to a url.  The problem I am having is that it seems to be adding in newline characters like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<topmostSubform><b12c96nfCert_Nbr>1234
</b12c96nfCert_Nbr>
<b12c96nfOwnship_ID
/>
</topmostSubform>
(this isn't complete stream, just a small sample.  The newlines are screwing up my xml parser.  Is there any way I can prevent this, or post lean xml with no whitespace?
I have been stripping newline characters inside my service, but obviously this is less than ideal.
When I save the xml directly out of the pdf, it contains these newline characters as well.  How can I remove them?
With Respect,

You could use a regular expression. For example,
var str = this.rawValue;
this.rawValue = str.replace(/\r|\n/g,"");
will globally replace carriage returns (\r) or line feeds (\n) with "".
