Message: [QUOTE="Martin Honnen, post: 4952048"] XHTML is XML. So an XML parser can deal with it and build an XML DOM, if the parser knows XHTML then it can even build an XHTML DOM for the XHTML elements in the namespace [URL]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml[/URL]. For instance with Mozilla you can do var xmlDoc = new DOMParser().parseFromString([ '<html xmlns="[URL]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml[/URL]">', '<head>', '<title>Example</title>', '</head>', '<body>', '<p id="p1">Kibology for all.</p>', '</body>', '</html>' ].join('\r\n'), 'application/xml'); var ps = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagNameNS('[URL]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml[/URL]', 'p'); var p = ps[0]; alert(p + ': ' + p.id); and p is an HTMLParagraphpElement having an id property as the parser has recognized the namespace of the element and built the XHTML DOM.
