Edit Question
Title
Body
The javadoc for the Document class has the following note under getElementById . Note: Attributes with the name "ID" or "id" are not of type ID unless so defined So, I read an XHTML doc into the DOM (using Xerces 2.9.1). The doc has a plain old <p id='fribble'> in it. I call getElementById("fribble") , and it returns null. I use XPath to get "//*[id='fribble']", and all is well. So, the question is, what causes the DocumentBuilder to actually mark ID attributes as 'so defined?'
