Subject: Re: [dom4j-user] insert an element

Hi Ben, David,

as far as I know this is indeed the only way to add child Nodes at a 
given position:

int position = [...];   // the position of the new element
Element newElement = [...];  // the new element
Element parent = [...];
List children = parent.elements();
children.add(position, newElement);

regards,
Maarten
