Hi Ajay, The short answer to your question is no. The DOM API provides no methods for getting line/column numbers so they're not available to the validator when DOM is the input. There are some non-standard ways of adding line/column info to DOM nodes using user data (introduced in DOM Level 3). There's a sample [1] that ships with Xerces-J that shows how you can do it. The validator won't read this info but your application could read it from the current element node [2] when an error is reported. Note that if you've mutated the DOM after loading it the line/column numbers may become misleading/meaningless.
Thanks.
