I see what you mean :) yes, indeed that would work. No, I did not know about
loadXML() before this. The methods available to me via MS' XMLDOM was not
known to me before this and I could only try each relevant method I could
find in the W3C DOM specs and see if it worked in MS' implementation. Color
me frustrated...

Well, I finally found a good library on the MS XMLDOM implementation:

Here is the cause of &gt; and &lt; appearing in your result. You pass < and

I'm not sure we understand each other. What I meant is that you should try
to do something like:

Set tempDoc = New DOMDocument40 (or some object like that)
tempDoc.loadXML("<p>Hello World</p>");

objNode.addChild(tempDoc.firstChild);

It shouldn't matter whether the <p> contains <a> elements or not, as long as
the string you pass 
contains well-formed XML...

Good luck.
