In the application I am currently helping to develop, we are DEFINITELY counting on the order in which elements are placed within a document. I'm not sure if there is a W3C requirement that this be done, but I can imagine that others might be going on the assumption that the order of elements within a document matters for the problem they are trying to solve.
My $.02 - Mike -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Lewis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2000 1:56 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Order of elements in the DOM We are having an internal discussion about whether or not to trust the ordering of elements within the DOM once an XML document has been parsed. I am arguing that the DOM should retain the order of elements from the XML file, but I have yet to find any requirement, W3C or otherwise, that it do so... Any comments?
