Unless the cloned node is actually a child node in the document, the cloned node can be reclaimed. Even though the cloned node has a link to the document, what is important is the objects that have links to the cloned node. If noone references it, then it can be reclaimed. -- Andy Clark * IBM, JTC - Silicon Valley * [EMAIL PROTECTED]
