Curt Arnold If the sum of the offset and count exceeds the length then all the characters to the end of the data are replaced. Retrieve the character data from the last child of the first employee. The "replaceData(offset,count,arg)" method is then called with offset=0 and count=50 and arg="2600". The method should replace all the characters with "2600". This is because the sum of the offset and count exceeds the length of the character data. 2002-06-09
