InsertBefore method

[lbrooks]

Overall: When I attempt to use the insertBefore method I get an error "Insert position node must be a child of the node to insert under." Below I walk through my code explaining what I am doing. Any help would be grealy appreciated.


//this is just to show that I am working with two different XMl files. One to clone a node from and the other to actually insert into.

objBatchDoc = objBatch.documentElement;
objBatchTemplateDoc = objTemplateBatch.documentElement;


//Here I am a getting a node from another file with the same structure and then cloning it. It will be used as the new node I need to insert

temp = "MasterRecipe/RecipeElement";
var objMasterMainNode = objBatchTemplateDoc.selectSingleNode(temp);
if (objMasterMainNode == null) {
alert('object is nul');

} else {
var objHoldingNode = objMasterMainNode.cloneNode(true);


//end getting new node, next I am setting some initial values for this cloned node.

objHoldingNode.selectSingleNode('ID').text = ElementName;
objHoldingNode.selectSingleNode('Description').text = ElementDesc;


//next I point to the node where I want the new node to be inserted above and it does pull back a node.

temp = "MasterRecipe[ID='" + RecipeID + "']/RecipeElement/RecipeElement/RecipeElement[ID='" + CurrentNodeID + "']";
var objBatchCurrent = objBatchDoc.selectSingleNode(temp);


//next I want to get the parent of the node above to be used in the insertBefore function.
var temp2 = "MasterRecipe[ID='" + RecipeID + "']/RecipeElement/RecipeElement";

var objBatchCurrentPlusOne;
objBatchCurrentPlusOne = objBatchDoc.selectSingleNode(temp2);


//next I attempt to insert the node. But I get an error "Insert position node must be a child of the node to insert under" on the insertBefore Function. Please help I can't seem to figure what I am doing wrong.

if (objBatchCurrentPlusOne == null) {

}else{


objBatchCurrentPlusOne.insertBefore(objHoldingNode, objBatchCurrent);

}

Is my problem clear, do I need to provide more?

Do it like this which may be more orderly.

// etc etc... (above same)

[green]//put it lower and define it differently[/green]
//next I point to the node where I want the new node to be inserted above and it does pull back a node.

[red]//[/red] temp = "MasterRecipe[ID='" + RecipeID + "']/RecipeElement/RecipeElement/RecipeElement[ID='" + CurrentNodeID + "']";

var temp2 = "MasterRecipe[ID='" + RecipeID + "']/RecipeElement/RecipeElement";

var objBatchCurrentPlusOne;
objBatchCurrentPlusOne = objBatchDoc.selectSingleNode(temp2);
