Gotcha. Indeed it works with a built in DTD but would be nice to have the lookup-id-table.
Thanks, reb.

No, it doesn't need DTD validation, but of course a parsed DTD. (Note
the 'parsed', that's a hint in case you've an external DTD subset.)
This is needed because the parser needs to know which attributes are
of the attribute type ID. The name of the attribute is completely
irrelevant, its the attribute type, which makes it to an ID attribute.
Without a DTD, getElementById returns always the empty string. Provide
the correct DTD and it works pretty well.
No, there isn't xsd support.
Note, that the html parser does fill the internal lookup table used by
getElementById if it sees an attribute with the name "id" (in recent
tDOM).
If you know the name of the ID attribue, you could always get the node
with (say, the attribute name is 'id')
$doc selectNodes //*[@id='your_ id_value_ here']
though that is much lesser efficient that getElementById (with a DTD
in place), because the first does a complete tree scan and the later
uses a lookup hash table.
If you need several lookups (and still want/could not provid a DTD)
you could easily build your own lookup table at script level.
Hello, Normally, it is better to use tdom from tcl, but sometimes, for eficiency reasons, it could be interesting to use it from C. I think that it would be a...
