I believe there is no way (unless your DOM implementation supports some non-portable private mechanism). You can either set a load feature to eliminate the entity reference markers or you can clone the child, remove the parent, and insert the child, either of which should give you a node you can modify since it is no longer inside the entity reference. The entity reference, as long as it is there, serves as a marker of a reference which should contain / collapse to the original definition. If you could modify the content under the entity reference, it would no longer represent a reference of the entity because the content would be different (exactly what it would represent would be hard to say). There is presently no DOM support for modifying an entity definition. Ray Whitmer
