[xmljs-users] New to XML-- question about a tag format

[Fumigator <fum...@ar...>]

HI!  I'm playing with xml for <SCRIPT>, having fun, but have a
question.  There is a specific xml file that was created by some
random guy that contains tags that look like this:

<recipe name="Dark Brown" cost="1375" sellback="1250" skill="216">
      <ingredient quantity="1" name="Crushed Juniper Berries" dropped="0" />
      <ingredient quantity="1" name="Thin Metal Flask" dropped="0" />
      <ingredient quantity="6" name="Alum" dropped="0" />
      <ingredient quantity="6" name="Flask of Water" dropped="0" />
</recipe>

The Classic DOM does not parse the <ingredient> tags correctly.  Or I
should say, I'm not sure that format of "<ingredient />", rather than
"<ingredient></ingredient>", is legal.

Would the W3C DOM parse this tag correctly?  I tried it first, but was
getting an exception error with it using Firefox.

Any suggestions?
