I haven't had time to investigate it fully (like inspecting the real DOM in the three browsers I was testing on). It seems that Internet Explorer presevers the nodes in some way (when looking at the innerHTML). It shows like a processing instruction though, not a comment. Firefox simply drops all processing instructions (or bogus comments) and you can not retrieve them in any way. Opera stores them in some quirky way. When looking at the innerHTML of the page I get things like: |<? target="test" content=""/>?>| for a processing instruction which looked like: |<? test>|. We'll fix that sometime when it gets more important and when it is clear what we're supposed to do. (Personally I can appreciate the approach Firefox took although that leaves not much room for using them sometime in the future...) -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/>
