If the DOM knows that an attribute is an ID, based on the DTD or Schema, it _should_ do the right thing automatically whenever you change the attributes. But as of DOM Level 2, there is no API for providing that information to a DOM, so whether or not this happens is entirely implementation dependent. If you don't like what your implementation is doing in that regard, contact its authors and/or investigate other implementations. See the Working Draft for the DOM Level 3 "abstract schema" APIs. Implementations which choose to support this feature will have a way to examine and (optionally) manipulate the Schema/DTD information, and presumably would also commit to maintaining the ID list correctly. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
