I've modified your sample. It looks like it's independent of cloneNode() (sorry about that, I never tried it on a fresh parsed Document before now). If you run the sample, both the original and cloned Documents "lose" their children between the consecutive printNode passes. I tested it against Xerces-J 1.0.3 and 1.0.2 which both failed to output the children and against 1.0.1 which seemed to work fine, but not against the CVS version. Thanks, Michael. -- ?
