The official DOM answer is "create the DocumentType first, then use it when creating the Document node." This is because some DOM implementations may specialize themselves differently depending on what kind of document they're processing.
Some (not all!) DOMs will also permit you to simply add the DocumentType node as a child of Document, if one doesn't already exist. But that isn't promised, and I'm not sure whether Xerces supports it these days. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman, IBM Next-Generation Web Technologies: XML, XSL and more.
