Node cannot be used in a document other than the one in which it was created?

[Jens Ansorg]

hi,

I hope this is the appropriate group otherwise please set a fitting
follow-up.

Firefox3 has tightened security when dealing with different DOMs in the
browser as I just figured out.

I have a page (A) that loads another XHTML document (B) via
XMLHTTPRequest. After load the request.responseXML holds my xhtml
document (B). I pick a certain node out of this document (newData) and
insert it into the page (placeholder), like
"placeholder.parentNode.replaceChild(newData, placeholder);"

This does work in Firefox 2 but throws the error in the subject in
Firefox 3 nightly. Now, I do understand that there is tightened security
and the behavior is probably right.

My Question is now: is there another way to achieve what I'm currently
doing? How can I get parts of (B) into (A)?

thanks
Jens
