I'm trying to find more information on how to, within javascript using the built-in xml parser, validate xml against a dtd. I have found examples on how to do this in IE 5.0 and up, but have not found any for firefox or opera. Is there really an area where IE is ahead of the game? Please tell me there are browser native ways to do this for ff and opera....

bg,

maaann dtdsss suuucckkk!. i dont see many reasons for it...i use alot of xml and just plain not us dtds..try googling for AJAX and maybe u might come up with something but i have used xml parsing in both IE and firefox i havent come across a valitaing for DTD and in my opinion thats a bit unecessary sometimes
