One additional comment. I was using the idiom }. attributes x because when using the J6 version of sax/xml there was an extraneous "attribute" row corresponding to the name of the element.
Under J8, I am not seeing this row, so I need to remove the }. because that would cause me to not see the first attribute. FYI, -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
