See recent discussion in the archives of this mailing list: Descendents of an Entity andEntityReference nodes and their descendents are read-only. So are Notation nodes (The DOM's index and glossary pages are useful for this; looking in the index found this fairly quickly) This exception may also be thrown in some cases if the specific operation is forbidden in this node -- eg, trying to set nodeValue for an Entity node. The DOM does not say there aren't any other ways that nodes can become read-only. We may add APIs to control that in the future. And some DOM implementations have implementation-specific mechanisms that may cause this to happen. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
