exception appending Element to Node

[felix <ro...@supercable.es>]

In the next code, this error appears 
"org.w3c.dom.DOMException: DOM005 Wrong document":


......
Node nodeChild=nl.item(0);
DOMParser dp=new DOMParser();
dp.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader("<"+sNameElement+">"+"</"+sNameElement+">")));
Element root=dp.getDocument().getDocumentElement();
root.setAttribute("Order",sOrderElement);
root.setNodeValue(sValueElement);
nodeChild.appendChild(root);
....

I don't know where is the problem, any help would be appreciate

Regards

Don't forget to import the Node:

Document ownerDoc = // whether nodeChild's owner is
...
nodeChild.appendNode(ownerDoc.importNode(root, true));

You can't do nodeChild.appendChild(root) as the two nodes come from
different Documents.  You need to use the importNode method of the
Document which nodeChild belongs to.  The JavaDocs should tell you the
rest (or look at the list archives - this question is frequently asked).
