You missed (or ignored) my point about markup. For an ASP/JSP/XYZ looking like Here's some text. <%foo ... %> Here's some more text. <%bar ... %> Yadda yadda yadda. Exactly what would Document.elementNode return? Since it's not markup, it doesn't obey markup structure rules -- assumed by DOM. No root element. - Dave
