characterdataIndexSizeErrInsertDataOffsetNegative NIST The "insertData(offset,arg)" method raises an INDEX_SIZE_ERR DOMException if the specified offset is negative. Retrieve the character data of the last child of the first employee and invoke its insertData"(offset,arg)" method with offset=-5 and arg="ABC". It should raise the desired exception since the offset is negative. Mary Brady 2001-08-17
