Folks.

This works great for XML strings with a document/root element.
But is there anyway of parsing and importing nodes with no root?

Import =3D <Where>1=3D1</Where><OrderBy><FieldRef Name=3D"Test"/></OrderBy>

<root>
<data>
<query>
<!--HERE-->
</query
</data>
</root>

I should probably give you some context of what I'm trying to achieve.
I've got a clientside HTML page that queries a WSDL and based on what
bindings and elements is has a form is presented to the user.
There are inputs, drop downs and textareas... the textareas are used
to enter free XML... so I need a way of capturing free XML and adding
it as a child of a particular node.

So in the above case the users going to enter: <Where>1=3D1</
Where><OrderBy><FieldRef Name=3D"Test"/></OrderBy> and I need to make it
a child of <query>.
I don't want to go down the route of splitting the string and
appendChild, if possible.

Thanks.
