And yes, if that XML parser fails then the whole process fails. It's a popular trolling meme to run around and tell people that if you have a HTML document and want to turn that into a DOM Document, that's a well-documented process, but doing the same with XML documents, that is not so well-documented, there is much uncertainty about it. The two of you have the same process in mind, Henri Sivonen just thought it im- portant to draw everybody's attention to this meme. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
