>Sure. A node list is a list of nodes. No more, no less. Actually, a DOM NodeList is something more: it is a dynamic filtered view of the document, a list of nodes WHICH CHANGES AS THE DOCUMENT IS EDITED so that it always represents the results as if the query had just been issued. If you (re)move a node from the tree, the NodeList changes too... and the integer indices no longer refer to the same nodes they did a moment ago. This is, if you'll excuse my French, a bitch-kitty to implement; you need either DOM Level 2 event handling or a lightweight version thereof. It's also, in my experience so far, a serious risk of performance problems and/or logic errors unless your document is static or nearly so. Caveat usetor; know what you're getting into before you request one. And consider whether the DOM Level 2 iterator frameworks will be a better answer. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research Unless stated otherwise, all opinions are solely those of the author. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
