DOM to DOM

[Ryan Koss]

Hello All,   This maybe have been answered before but I haven't found it in any threads or on the FAQ or grepping around in the samples.   I have one object DOM1 that was parsed from an existing file.  I have another object DOM2 created by a user that is a subset of the DOM1 object.  DOM2 is only attributes that a user wanted to change in DOM1.  Is there a method or easy way to propagate this changes back into DOM1?   For example: DOM1 <pitcher     era='2.15'     bb='8'     k='25'/>   DOM2 <pitcher     era='3.05'/>   Right now the only way that I can see to do this is to cycle through all the child nodes in DOM2 get the particular attributes names that reside in DOM2 then find the attribute in DOM1, take the attribute value from DOM2 with a get and then take this value and set it in DOM1 with a set call???  Is this the only way to do a merge of sorts?  Has anyone done this before?  Can anyone offer an insight or better way to complete this particular task?    Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.   -ryan
