You (or they) are probably confusing elements with attributes. The DOM DOES preserve the order of elements. It does not necessarily preserve the order of attributes of a given element, since XML says that their ordering is officially Not Significant and leaving this unspecified allows more efficient implementations. For questions about what's dependable in the DOM, the best place to look is the DOM spec (see http://www.w3.org/DOM/DOMTR). For answers about some of the more common points of confusion, see the DOM FAQ document ( http://www.w3.org/DOM/faq.html) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
