Adding a namespace to a Dom document

[Marina Dorelli]

I'd like to add a XML namespace with the URI of my own ontology in the DOM
document of an existing web page.
Is it possible to add a namespace element?

Thanks in advance

There are no "namespace elements" in the DOM.

You can add attributes in a given namespace, obviously, and you can add
nodes in a given namespace...

That said, what are you actually trying to do? Can you give an example?

so I should use root.setAttributeNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/",
"xmlns:foo",
"http://foo.org#"); , no?
I've tried this way but it doesn't work, I saved my document and i can't
find the attribute I set

How did you save it? This works fine over here:

var doc = document.implementation.createDocument(null, null, null);
var elm = doc.createElement("root");
doc.appendChild(elm);
elm.setAttributeNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/",
"xmlns:foo","http://foo.org#");
var str = (new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(doc);
alert(str);

I used:
wbp.saveDocument(content.document,localFile,null,"text/xml",null,null);
Is it wrong?

That should work, assuming you changed nodes of content.document.

I'm sorry I was in a hurry, and I took the wrong address...

well I tried to use createAttributeNS and then root.appendChild()

so I should use root.setAttributeNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/",
"xmlns:foo",
"http://foo.org#"); , no?

Not sure why you didn't reply on the list...

OK, so you can do this using setAttributeNS, no?
