DOM leaf nodes

[sand zhang]

Which of the following nodes are leaf nodes:
attr
prcessing instruction
cdata
notation
I think attr is leaf node. But the whizlab says attr is not. Because Text and entityref are att's child nodes.
Who is right.
Thx

That is correct. attr Node has children.
This if a quote from the DOM Model Spec....

Document -- Element (maximum of one), ProcessingInstruction, Comment, DocumentType (maximum of one)
DocumentFragment -- Element, ProcessingInstruction, Comment, Text, CDATASection, EntityReference
DocumentType -- no children
EntityReference -- Element, ProcessingInstruction, Comment, Text, CDATASection, EntityReference
Element -- Element, Text, Comment, ProcessingInstruction, CDATASection, EntityReference
Attr -- Text, EntityReference
ProcessingInstruction -- no children
Comment -- no children
Text -- no children
CDATASection -- no children
Entity -- Element, ProcessingInstruction, Comment, Text, CDATASection, EntityReference
Notation -- no children

Based on this we see that the other three Node types don't have children.

Yes, I got another one.
I have a xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE doc [
<!ELEMENT doc (#PCDATA |s|T|X)* >
<!ELEMENT s (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST s attr1 ID #REQUIRED >
<!ELEMENT T (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST T attr2 ID #REQUIRED >
<!ELEMENT X (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST X attr3 IDREF #REQUIRED >
]>
<doc>
<s attr1="A">aaa</s>
<T attr2="B">aaa</T>
<X attr3="A">aaa</X>
</doc>
There are two IDs and one IDREF. IDREF can reference both IDS. Can distinguish these two IDs? Say attr3 only references attr1, not attr2. I guess not.
Thx
