>Do i need to implement exclusively other interfcaes except interfcae >HTMLDocument of HTML DOM, Yes, if you want to claim compliance with the HTML DOM spec. No, if all you want is compliance with the core DOM... but in that case you probably shouldn't implement HTMLDocument either, since that's likely to confuse your users. The main reason for HTMLDocument is that it _does_ produce all the specialized subclasses of Element. As you suggested, the HTML interfaces aren't much more than a convenience layer. (DOM Level 1 requres that you completely implement either the HTML interfaces or the Extended (XML) interfaces. We're considering backing off that and allowing folks to claim compliance with only the core.) ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
