Hi,

I was wondering whether there is a way to get the line number of a node in a 
TXMLDocument object?

My understanding is that a DOM implementation is used to parse a XML file 
and represent it as a hierarchy of nodes. It would seem that the nodes don't 
hold any information about their location in the XML file.

I can understand it from a design point of view, but not from an end-user 
point of view. Indeed, while parsing the XML file, and therefore nodes, I do 
various checks and I want to be able to report any problem that there might 
be with the XML code. I already do all of that, except that to help my users 
even further, I would like to be able to refer to the line/column of the 
problem.

So, is there really no way of doing that?

Cheers, Alan.
