When this node is a Document or a > DocumentType which is not used with any Document yet, this is null. I agree that the "this" is badly overloaded here, and that the antecedents are not obvious. Possible rewording: The Document object associated with this node. For most nodes, this refers to the Document whose factory methods created them (and which can be used to create other nodes compatable with them). When a node is either a Document, or a DocumentType which is has not yet been associated with a specific document by the DOMImplementation.createDocument method, its ownerDocument is null. Better? ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
