[dom4j-dev] Re: [dom4j-user] insert a new row

[Ben Munat]

This brings up a possible enhancement for 2.0 that's been rolling around the back of my 
head. The W3C DOM node interface has methods for accessing siblings and to insert before 
and after. Dom4j doesn't have comparable methods.

Now, I know I could grab the siblings of of a node with an xpath, but I've never found a 
simple way to insert before/after. I've had to find the position of the node in the 
content list and then insert at -1 or +1. I don't know if this is worth adding to a 
long-standing public API, but I thought I'd at least mention it. Maybe others have found 
this inelegant? Or maybe there's a really simple solution that I've just never noticed?

Hi,
You can access the content of an element using the element.content() 
method, This allows you to manupulate the content of the element directly.
This information is returned as a List, and is read/write
