I have gone through many threads on this topic, but am still clueless
about the solution of my problem.

I am using :

childNodesBuffer = currentchildelem.cloneNode(true).getChildNodes();

where currentchildelem is an Element
childNodesBuffer is a NodeList

currentchildelem is :

<td>
<table>
<tr>.....</tr>
<tr>...</tr>
</table>
</td>

My problem is the node 'table' is not being put into the node list.
But if I have only text node like

<td>
sometext
</td>

Then it wors perfectly fine.

Any ideas for why is this happening ? (Even when I am doing a 'deep'
clone)

I am using Xerces-J parser and parsing XHTML.

Thanks in advance,
Anupam
