HTML documents implement all of DOM 2, so even though HTML is not namespaced, you can create namespaced element using the namespace aware methods, sure. And since you aren't dealing with a namespaced document, plain createElement will create a non-namespaced HTML element that works in that document, sure. So Mozilla's stand is far from consistent, with text/html documents > createElement works as the OP wants, with application/xhtml+xml or > image/svg+xml createElement does not work how the OP wants despite the DOM > being equivalently namespace aware. The difference is that text/html is plain (namespace ignorant) HTML. You aren't dealing with a namespaced document so you use createElement. On the other hand application/xhtml+xml is XHTML. In this case you're dealing with a namespaced document so you need to use createElementNS. When I said "consistent" I meant consistant across all namespaced XML. The above behaviour doesn't contradict this for me. -Jonathan [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
