Hey,
What would be the best way to add a doctype declaration tag to a document
that doesn't have one?
I've tried this, but it doesn't work, gives some sort of unhandled error:
Why don't you use a try/catch block to catch the DOMException and get
the error code? Or better yet, you can debug into the call and see
what's happening.
DOMNode *theRootNode;
theRootNode = //somehow find the node we should insert before, how
do i find this node?
DOMNode *theDocTypeNode;
theDocTypeNode = doc->createDocumentType(XMLString::transcode(
"collection" ), 0, XMLString::transcode( gDtdFile )) ;
doc->insertBefore(theDocTypeNode,theRootNode);
These calls to XMLString::transcode() return pointers that you need to
deallocate. See the documentation for XMLString::transcode() for more
information. Also, what is the value of theRootNode? Your comment
seems to indicate that you don't know what child to use. I would
recommend you use the document element by calling
DOMDocument::getDocumentElement().
I pasted the following code into the CreateDOMDocument sample at line 148:
DOMNode *theDocTypeNode =
theDocTypeNode = doc->createDocumentType(
XMLString::transcode("collection" ),
0,
XMLString::transcode( "foo.dtd"));
doc->insertBefore(theDocTypeNode,rootElem);
which worked correctly.
Also, is there an 'insertAfter' function?
No.
