SVG has introduced some attributes for handling most of the traversal: interface ElementTraversal { readonly attribute Element firstElementChild; readonly attribute Element lastElementChild; readonly attribute Element nextElementSibling; readonly attribute Element previousElementSibling; }; The idea was to introduce this for the DOM at some point as I understand it, but I haven't tracked it much. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>Received on Wednesday, 27 September 2006 18:10:01 GMT
