They are set to null. [[[ nextSibling of type Node, readonly The node immediately following this node. If there is no such node, this returns null. parentNode of type Node, readonly The parent of this node. All nodes, except Attr, Document, DocumentFragment, Entity, and Notation may have a parent. However, if a node has just been created and not yet added to the tree, or if it has been removed from the tree, this is null. ]]] -- Document Object Model Core http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Core-20001113/core.html#ID-1950641247 Thu, 09 Nov 2000 23:18:19 GMT > 2) in Node.cloneNode(), for a non-deep copy, are the *references* to the > children supposed to be copied as well?

For a non deep copy, only the element and his attributes are copied. Childrens are not included. [[[ deep of type boolean If true, recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; if false, clone only the node itself (and its attributes, if it is an Element). ]]] -- Document Object Model Core http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Core-20001113/core.html#ID-1950641247 Thu, 09 Nov 2000 23:18:19 GMT Philippe
