Remarks

Creating a document fragment with this method is the same as using createNode Methodwhere 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 Propertyhas the value NODE_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT.

This method applies to the following objects and interfaces:

DOMDocumentand IXMLDOMDocumentFragment.
