Title: Message

Hi

 

Thanks for great help with the Batik!

 

I have a problem with insertBefore method. The execution of a line

 

 element.insertBefore(element.getFirstChild(), someElement);

 

leads to exception

 

java.lang.NullPointerException
 at org.apache.batik.dom.AbstractParentNode$ChildNodes.insert(Unknown Source)
 at org.apache.batik.dom.AbstractParentNode.insertBefore(Unknown Source)

 

What can be a problem?

 

Thanks!!
