Element.content() (and Element.elements())) returns a List which can be manipulated directly using the standard List interface. Changes to the List will be reflected in the document. So you could add an element, then move it to the correct position. Or just create a new element then add it at the correct index via List.set(int, node); DocumentFactory factory = new DocumentFactory(); Element foo = ...; Element bar = factory.createElement( "new" ); // add bar at a specific index foo.content().add(2, bar); James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
