RE: [xmljs-users] deep copy nodes between xml documents with JS

[Barry B. <Ba...@al...>]

ach, I've narrowed it down. It's the adding of the other doc's element
to the fragment that it doesn't like

// xmlToAdd and masterXmlDoc are both xml docs

addrToAdd =3D xmlToAdd.documentElement;
doc_frag =3D masterXmlDoc.createDocumentFragment();
doc_frag.appendChild(addrToAdd); ////// here \\\\\
masterAddressRoot =3D
masterXmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("addresses").item(0);
masterAddressRoot.appendChild(doc_frag);
alert(masterXmlDoc);=20

I've seen lots of examples where the "guts" of the fragment is created
(createElement) but no where is it an existing node of another doc.

is this the correct reference to the other xml node?

thanx

BTW, this works just fine

addrToAdd =3D xmlToAdd.documentElement;
// get the parent the "address" node
masterAddressRoot =3D
masterXmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("addresses").item(0);
doc_frag =3D masterAddressRoot.importNode(addrToAdd, true);
masterAddressRoot.appendChild(doc_frag);
alert(masterXmlDoc);

Creating a DOMDocumentFragment and inserting it into the document using
the standard
append*/insert* methods should do the trick for you.
