Hi,

this is not possible. Try to add the root node (top level
tag).

HTH,

A node from one document can't directly be inserted into another. You
need to call Document.importNode first. Also you can't put the
Document node directly into a parent, because it is by definition the
root object of the entire DOM tree. What you probably want to do is
insert the root element node, which you can read with
Document.documentElement:

el= parent.ownerDocument.importNode(document.documentE lement, True)
parent.appendNode(el)
