In particular the DOMUserData type (section 1.1.7) To quote: > Type Definition > > A DOMUserData represents a reference to an application object. It can't be generic can it? That would mean you couldn't mix types within the DOM, which is from my interpretation, the intention of this type. I can think of one way involving (access to) classes, which makes it a tad ugly for simple types like Integers, Strings, etc, but to me it seems the only way. Any thoughts on how to handle this in Ada (from someone more experienced)? Regards, Chris
