XML by Example

The code is familiar; for the most part it’s copied verbatim from Listing 7.3.

Note, however, that it does not explicitly parse the document (there is no

parse() function). Instead, the content of the XML frame is accessed

directly through the DOM interface.

<INPUT TYPE=”BUTTON”

ONCLICK=”convert(controls,parent.xml.document)”

VALUE=”Convert”>

For example, macros can access the document to create tables of contents,

indeXEs, and so on. Using macros and DOM, you can customize the editor

to suit your needs.
