From the DOM docs: The DOM is designed to be used with any programming language. In order to provide a precise, language-independent specification of the DOM interfaces, we have chosen to define the specifications in OMG IDL, as defined in the CORBA 2.2 specification. [...] Note: OMG IDL is used only as a language-independent and implementation-neutral way to specify interfaces. Various other IDLs could have been used. In general, IDLs are designed for specific computing environments. The Document Object Model can be implemented in any computing environment, and does not require the object binding runtimes generally associated with such IDLs. Clear enough? ;-) -- Ciao, / / /--/ / / ANS _____________________________________________________________________ Hans Meine mail me: hans_meine@gmx.net Harkortstr. 138 http://www.dialnet.de/hansmeine D-22765 Hamburg ICQ: RastaJoe <28674493> [Germany] Phone: ++49-40-38612523
