Hi,

Is it possible to read the underlying DTD and extract information about the attributes of a specific element, like list of attributes, whether an attribute is implied, default value of an attribute, possible values of an attribute, etc.?

Thanks,
Aman

Yes (the Programmer's Guide is your friend here).

See the following to start with and in particular all of the properties and methods linked to from there:

Cool, thanks. I think for these type of queries, they use the word RTFM. You missed the chance Derek!!

Exactly, except, who really has the time to hunt their way through a list of 1200+ APIs? ;-)
