>What happens if there are two validation errors in the same document? The current DOM recommendation doesn't address validation at all. DOM Level 3's Load/Save and Content Model chapters will address this. The answer will still probably be dependent upon your particular parser, since recovering from an error and continuing to validate can sometimes be challenging; some parsers may be more successful at doing so than others, or may make more of an effort to do so. We're designing the API so that multiple errors can be reported, but how well that works in practice is probably going to wind up being a quality-of-implementation issue. However, the Content Model chapter -- if implemented; it's going to be optional -- will allow you to revalidate a DOM tree without having to reparse it, which at least partly addresses your concern. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
