Atributes in XML can appear in any order (i.e. attributes are not
ordered). AFAIK, the internal data structure Xerces 1 uses to keep
attributes orders them alphabetically, so that is how the DOM is
serialized. The XML way (so to speak) to ensure a particular order of
"things" is to make them elements. Another option would be to use a
"custom" element, which keeps extra information about the order of
attributes...

Hi,
I am trying to add 3 attributes to an element in this order:
e.setAttribute("ref", "record");
e.setAttribute("minOccurs", "1");
e.setAttribute("maxOccurs", "unbounded");
Later, when I try to serialize my dom tree, the attributes seem to be added
in alphabetical order of the attribute name, like this:
<element maxOccurs='unbounded' minOccurs='1' ref="record"/>
Why does xerces change the order of attributes? Is there anyway to force
order of attributes?
thanks for your help in advance,
Malia
