The doctype is just the first child of the document (for wellformness reasons it must appear before documentElement). So the following trick will do: 1. document.removeChild (document.getDoctype()) 2. create a new doctype using DOMImplementation 3. document.insertBefore (newDoctype, document.getDocumentElement()) However, this trick will only work with the latest code from CVS for Xerces2 (thanks to Arnaud Le Hors). You may try it for Xerces 1, however you might get exception..
