RE: [xmljs-users] Cannot write back to root document object...

[David J. <dj...@ya...>]

I won't be able to look at this until tonight at the earliest, but I'll try to get to it as soon
as possible.

Can I ask a favor? Can you expand on this recreation a bit to include your source XML and
everything you need to recreate this - including the creation of the objects? That will make it
much easier for me to debug since I won't have to guess what your variables are or how the
function is supposed to interact with the objects. It's actually easier for me when I have a
slightly larger test case than the bare minimum. Sorry I wasn't clear about that originally...

If you don't have time, that's OK. I'll do my best. 

One more favor :) Can you send the new|current recreation as a zipped up attachment to
djoham[at]yahoo[dot]com please? Yahoo mail mutilates code (and text attachments) to the point of
almost uselessness. It would be a big help if I was able to start with something that resembed
JavaScript code rather than Perl :)

Best regards,

David
