Thanks for your input.
Any idea how I can define the attribute ("id")
to be of type ID (other than through a DTD)?
Also, what I don't understand is how the "id"
attributes are correctly recognized as being
of type ID (without any DTD) when they occur
in the original XML file that I read in and
parse to create the DOM, but the new elements
added to the tree are not recognized as having
an "id" attribute of type ID.
I'm actually using IBM's XML4J 3.2.0, but I also
got the same problem with the latest Oracle parser.
I have noticed that the javadoc states that
"attributes with the name "ID" are not of type ID
unless so defined" but doesn't say how you would
define them. I guess using a dtd is one way of
defining it, as you have suggested.
Thanks again for your help.
