Remarks
Creating a document fragment with this method is the same as using createNode
where the type
parameter value is NODE_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT
and no namespace is specified. You cannot specify a namespace with the createDocumentFragment
method.
Although this method creates the new object in the context of this document, it does not automatically add the new object to the document tree. In other words, although the ownerDocument
property of the new node points to this document object, the parentNode
property is set to Null. To add the new object, you must explicitly call one of the node insert methods, insertBefore
method, replaceChild
method, or appendChild
method.
The nodeType
property has the value NODE_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT
.
