Yes, I saw this in the attributes parameter of the startElement() method.
The thing is that I need to get the column number for each attribute. I do
this for lines by using an XMLlocator which I register in the startDocument
() method. So if I access the attributes in the startDocument method, the
locator is already at the end of the element so I'll get the column number
of the end of the element.
Thanks,
Ron.

The startElement has information about both element and its attributes.
After execution of the startElement method in AbstractDOMParser, element
and its attributes are created and are part of the DOM tree.
Recently we've implemented DOMBuilderFilter (Load and Save, DOM L3)
which allows you to register a filter that will be called by the parser
to notify your application of different node types. So instead of
overwriting startElement you can use the filter to receive notification
on each element/attributes creation and make modifications you need.
Hope it helps,
