That's the point, right? Thanks for your help, but ... I haven't been able to get that to work - that is, even though I remove a node from its parent, I still cannot insert it into a document other than the one in which it was created. Can you post a PERL example where this works? And, more importantly, is it legal? My Java test code is included below - note I'm using the dcxjp parser to read it in, but otherwise using only DOM API calls. --- BEGIN JAVA CODE --- import com.datachannel.xml.om.Document; import org.w3c.dom.Element; import org.w3c.dom.Node; public class NodeInsertion { public static void main(String argv[]) { Document doc1=new Document(), doc2=new Document(); Element rootElementDoc1, rootElementDoc2; Node childDoc1, childDoc2; try { doc1.loadXML("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>" + "<rootElement1><childElement1 /></rootElement1>"); doc2.loadXML("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>" + "<rootElement2><childElement2 /></rootElement2>"); rootElementDoc1 = doc1.getDocumentElement(); rootElementDoc2 = doc2.getDocumentElement(); childDoc1 = rootElementDoc1.getFirstChild(); childDoc2 = rootElementDoc2.getFirstChild(); rootElementDoc2.removeChild(childDoc2); rootElementDoc1.replaceChild(childDoc2, childDoc1); } catch (Exception e) { System.err.println("An error occurred : " + e.getMessage()); e.printStackTrace(); } } } /* class NodeInsertion */ --- END JAVA CODE --- -- Warren Hedley Department of Engineering Science Auckland University New Zealand xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
