IBM The adoptNode method changes the ownerDocument of a node, its children, as well as the attached attribute nodes if there are any. If the node has a parent it is first removed from its parent child list. Invoke the adoptNode method on this Document with the source node being an existing attribute that is a part of this Document. Verify that the returned adopted node's nodeName, nodeValue and nodeType are as expected and that the ownerElement attribute of the returned attribute node was set to null. Neil Delima 2002-06-10
