[XML-SIG] Re: pyxml0.8.3/minidom/getElementById still broken???

[Petri Savolainen]

Alexandre, Fred, Andrew, thank you!

Indeed, I had no DTD, no validation. I assumed that by default, attributes
named "id" are treated as id attributes, for the purposes of
getElementById.

Using setIdAttribute('id') from DOM3 Load & Save (?) works great, too.

Thanks again!
