You're right, the makeElement method should have taken doc as the first parameter.
I don't quite follow your second suggestion but I think it assumes a List containing all elements anywhere in the tree? In the document you describe the doc.content() will be a list of one element (<root>) James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Han Ming Ong" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "James Strachan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Dom4j-User" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 6:49 PM Subject: Re: [dom4j-user] Create Document...

It would be super cool if you can do something like the following though: Element page1 = DocumentHelper.makeElement("/root/pages/page1"); Element parent = ... int pos = ... // get pos from convoluted algorithm somewhere parent.content().add(pos, page1); In this case, I can still use XPath to create element and have the liberty to insert it anywhere.
