pls don't take this personally Ian, but what a piss-weak list that is!
All I'm saying is that it would be nice to have DOM methods -
something towards the W3C's object model standards - to do stuff like
what Nathan wants. Creating nodes, getting child nodes, arrays of
attributes, cloning, etc.
it would certainly make up for the deficiencies in CF dealing with XML
docs as arrays/structs....
eg: (all - or similar - are available in Java and .NET frameworks)
DOMNode:
getNodeName
getNodeValue
setNodeValue
getNodeType
getParentNode
replaceChild
removeChild
appendChild
hasChildNodes
getChildNodes
getFirstChild
getLastChild
getPreviousSibling
getNextSibling
getAttributes
getNamespaceURI
insertBefore
cloneNode
getElementsByTagName
getElementsByTagNameNS
setPrefix
getXML
hasAttributes
DOMDocument:
getDoctype
getImplementation
getDocumentElement
createElement
createDocumentFragment
createTextNode
createComment
createCDATASection
createProcessingInstruction
createAttribute
createAttributeNS
createElementNS
getElementById
importNode
getElementsByTagName
getElementsByTagNameNS
Hell, all of this is even do-able in Javascript (thanx to the XML 4
script sourceforge project). Why should CF be a lame duck?
