merging DOM documents

[Michael Gratton <mi...@vee.net>]

Hi guys,

What's the best way to merge nodes from one DOM tree into another?

I can't just do an appendChild() because of the owner document mismatch,
and I've tried doing an setErrorChecking(false) on the target's owner
document, which didn't work either (anyone know why that is, it looks
like it should work fine from the source).

So, is my only option to traverse the tree and create and append new
nodes (identical to the ones I want to merge) from the target's owner
document?

Thanks,
Mike.

Ooo, mailing list archives are wonderful things. Ignore my previous
post, I found the answer.
