Hi Ralph,
Your assumption is correct - the child nodes in the DOMNodeList will be
in document order.

Hi,
I have a question about the ordering of elements in the XercesDOMParser.
In what order are the elements retrieved with DOMNode::getChildNodes() ?
Are they in the same order as they appeared in the XML document or can
they also appear in some different order?
So, if I have the following XML
<rule id="first">...</rule>
<rule id="middle">...</rule>
<rule id="last">...</rule>
will the first element in the DOMNodeList returned by getChildNodes()
contain the rule with id first etc ?
I like to know for sure because I could not find any documentation on it.
Thanks,
Ralph.
