I was referring more to dojo.xml.Parse than to domUtil. I didn't mean to suggest that this would supplant a Digester in JavaScript, but it could provide a foundation for such a thing. By the way, is there more documentation online than the API outline > (http://dojotoolkit.org/docs/apis/index.shtml)?

The docs are the focus of the upcoming 0.2drop. There's also a description on the wiki, here: http://dojo.jot.com/Parser -- Martin Cooper I've always felt that the Digester rules model, even though I have to > fight it sometimes to do what I want, is a very powerful approach that > really does save a great deal of time and effort, and I haven't seen > anything as truly useful anywhere else.
