Re: [xml-dev] Help on Creating Default Namespace using DOM Parser

["Pete Kirkham" <mach.elf@gmail.com>]

It's better to create the element in the namespace you want rather
than trying to change it, eg:

      Document svgDoc =
domImplementation.createDocument("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";, "svg",
null);
      Element elt = svgDoc.createElementNS("http://www.example.com/";, "boo");
      svgDoc.getDocumentElement().appendChild(elt);

results in

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";>
  <boo xmlns="http://www.example.com/"/>
</svg>
