That's been true in past versions of the DOM. (Justification: Some DOMs subclass may nodes differently based on their type; consider the HTML DOM as an example.) DOM Level 3 is proposing allowing (not requiring) some (not all) DOMs to relax this, via the renameNode operation. In DOMs which don't allow renaming, renameNode _replaces_ the node with a new on having the new name. See the current Working Draft for details: http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#Document3-renameNode ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
