Thanks for the information. This indeed gives me the line/col position where Xerces throws the exception, which turns out to often be inside the element qname and not at an element start or end. So:
a) i need to highlight the offending elements and thus need to know where they start and end. is there a way inside my startElement and endElement handlers to get the position info too? (i don't have an exception there that carries the info) b) is there a way to get an error type id (ideally something numeric) or do i have to regexp-match each SAXParseException's message against every known error string to know what type of sax parsing error it is (e.g. missing end-tag, invalid character, etc.)?
