Some parsers may provide a custom mechanism of this sort, but at this time there is no portable solution defined by the DOM API. DOM Level 3's load/save features may be able to address this. My usual recommendation is to set up a SAX listener which builds nodes within the existing document, and use a SAX parser to drive it. This isn't a complete solution -- there are a few impedence mismatches between SAX and DOM -- but it works well enough for most purposes and should be fairly portable. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
