Perhaps they are not implemented correctly then, according to the DOM1 spec (if you can make any sense of it, I'm trying), "Since elements, text nodes, comments, processing instructions, etc. cannot exist outside the context of a Document, the Document interface also contains the factory methods needed to create these objects". >From the spec, I read it as a document is a Node, and nodes provide methods such as appendChild. Thus I think if IE doesn't have a document.appendChild, it's not a correct implementation of the DOM.

 

IE5 Mac however does pass this test.

By the way the way you test is wrong. A lot of methods (such as appendChild removeChild etc.) are in IE under document.body you should check for

document.methodname || document.body.methodname

 

K?
