I'm new to the Xerces parser, so I was just wondering what other methods the DOM supports and would I want to perform on the XML string? So far, I've simply taken the XML string and performed schema validation and parsing on it. So, I haven't manipulated it. If this is the case, isn't it simpler to encode the string manually? Thanks for your help and quick response. Monica __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
