hello amos,
since you are the creator of XML documents, I wanted to ask you whether the node IDs in the XML document tree are not necessarily unique. I have a XML document and I try to create an index. I planned of using the node IDs from the tree as my identifiers. But I noticed that I have an ID twice. Yes, it is at a different level of the tree.
Is this a bug? Is there another way to accomplish my task?
Odd -- I haven't encountered this yet in my documents. All ids are unique there and I'm depending on it. Also I know from the code that they're supposed to be unique.. What *is* a problem currently (I think) is that you can't copy a branch from one XML document into another with the DOM methods. (the DOM doesn't provide for this) So there you can run into unique ID problems. Regards, Martijn
