Hi Franklin, << I thought a well formatted node has a />
such as <NodeName attributes=stuff /> or <NodeName>a bunch of stuff here</NodeName> this doesn't have that. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?> >> Well, yes, it doesn't have it, because it's not an element. What you described above is an Element Node, not just a node. For example, in XML, an element's attribute is itself a node, just as the text inside an element's opening and closing tags are, and neither of them certainly have a />. Processing instructions, like the other two, are just some kinds of nodes, different from elements. (Heck, even comments <!-- --> in XML files are nodes!) -- Tomas Restrepo [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
