Hi Patrick,

I did not try your testcase, but the setAttributeNS statement is not  
correct,
According to http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#ID-ElSetAttrNS 
,
the first argument is the namespaceURI which is http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink 
" for XLink.
The second argument should be the qualifiedName, which is "xlink:href"  
for this attribute.

So you might want to try:
err.setAttributeNS("http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink", "xlink:href",  
"ie7_logo.png");

Another issue is that you're defining the id="err" element twice, is  
that intentional??
What's the exact issue? Or you referring to the fact, that your "wrong  
example" actually works in some browsers?

Have a nice day,
Niko
