Re: Extending Element class in a dom tree?

Ok, that was not the really right answer ;) Of course it does work. You can even do stuff on that element, if you use the variable, resp. reference ($oMyElement) for doing this. What doesn't work (and I referred to that) is getting this object back from the DomDocument, so for example: $oDom->documentElement will give you the DomElement back and not your new MyElement. Hope it's a little bit clearer now chregu

You mean that dom methods for retrieving Elements will only return objects with the object methods defined in the DomElement class? Is there any way to extend Elements in the tree with own methods? Or is the dom structurue only used to handle defined methods? The method DomDocument::CreateElement() only returns instances of DomElement so maybee the Dom structure is not meant to be extended regarding elements? /Erik
