Problem in adoptNode function

[Balchandra Kemkar <bk...@cadence.com>]

Hi,
 
 
Whenever I use adoptNode function, it throws an exception
"NOT_SUPPORTED".
In net at many places I found that adoptNode is not implemented fully.
 
Is there any other way to change the owner document of the DOM node?
I cant use importNode as it creates a copy of the DOM node.
 
In my code I want to change the owner document of a DOM node without
copying it.
 
 
Regards,
Bala

Because of the way the Xerces-C DOM implements memory management, it's not 
possible to implement DOMNode::adoptNode() completely.  In particular, as 
you've discovered, you cannot use adoptNode() to change ownership of a node 
from one document to another.
