NIST The "splitText(offset)" method raises a NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR DOMException if the node is readonly. Obtain the children of the THIRD "gender" element. The elements content is an entity reference. Get the element content of the FIRST Text Node of the entity reference and execute the "splitText(offset)" method. This causes a NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR DOMException to be thrown. Mary Brady 2001-08-17
