I am trying to import xml nodes from one document to another but when i use the code: NodeList list = doc2.getElementsByTagName("whatever"); Document newDoc = db.newDocument(); Element root = (Element)newDoc.createElement("rootelement"); newDoc.appendChild(root); for(int i = 0; i < list.getLength();i++){ root.appendChild(newDoc.importNode(list.item(i),true)); } the attribute values from the imported node all turn to nothing. Is there a way to get around this, or to stop it happening?? Cheers    More>>

Can you give an example of the xml document you are doing a getElementsByTagName on. Is it the attribute being set to null or the actual value? Lumina<?

If you wanted to get Lumina, you would need to do a list.item(i).getFirstChild().getNodeValue().



an easier way to deal with the node value would be


Node temp = list.item(i);

temp.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();


Is this on line to what you are asking?
