Thank you, importNode works fine for my snippet given above. But style information is omitted no matter whether xmlns attribute specified or not. This is because I was wrong about using doc.documentElement.firstChild, I suppose doc.documentElement shall be used instead: var str = "<p xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/' style='color: red;'>This is a test</p>"; var parser = new DOMParser(); var doc = parser.parseFromString(str, "text/xml"); document.body.appendChild(doc.documentElement); And the fun thing is how different Gecko and WebKit(with the only difference in added call to document.importNode) handle the code given above. Gecko: Node inserted, text is visible but in black, e.g. style is still omitted and Firebug indicates, that inserted element has no style information, at the same time it indicates that style attribute exists in the DOM tree. WebKit: Node inserted but in the strange way. Text content is not visible on the screen. WebInspector indicates that new <p> node exists in the DOM tree but without it's content and closing tag and with xmlns and style attributes. I believe that this is because I'm playing with DOMParser in the wrong way. Could you please clarify what is the error here? > > Regards, > Maciej > > -- Best regards, Alexander Shabanov _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
