It's OK this way.

Thanks a lot.

You can cast the DOM_Node to a DOM_Element.

Simply perform the cast, like this:

...
DOM_Node     node = nodeList.item(i);
DOM_Element  elem = (const DOM_Element&)node;
...

You may cast-off 'const-ness' if necessary...
Kind of ugly, but it works.

I had the idea about casting l1 to DOM_Element.
Unfortunately, such an operation seems not to be allowed by the Xerces DOM
C++ implementation.

For example, with l1 being a DOM_Node, the statement :
	DOM_Element	elt = l1;
leads to the compilation error :
	Cannot use DOM_Node to initialize DOM_Element.

I also tried :
	DOM_Element	elt = DOM_Element(l1);
to obtain :
	Cannot cast from DOM_Node to DOM_Element

Any idea ?
