From the documentaition found at msdn.microsoft.com/library:
The property is read/write for all objects except the following, for which
it is read-only: CAPTION, COL, COLGROUP, FRAMESET, HTML, TBODY, TD, TFOOT,
TH, THEAD, TR.

So, the answer is "no".

Thanks, Guess I'll have to do it this way:

set h=document.createelement("html")
set d=document.createelement("head")
set t=document.createelement("title")
t.innertext="My new Document"
d.insertbefore t,null
h.insertbefore d,null
set b=document.createelement("body")
b.innerhtml="<p>hello from my new document</p>"
h.insertbefore b,null
document.replaceChild h,document.firstChild

If you elaborate more on the purpose of the script posted, someone may help
you with some idea.

Well I made a custom IE Explorer bar to edit HTML Documents, however I
don't feel it's complete unless I can display the outer html, edit it,
and paste it back -- without going through the file system... After all,
you can delete the DocumentElement from the document or replace it with
a new one, so why can't you edit it?

Then this example may be a hint for you. It's HTML Dom. The second
child(<body>) of the documentElement or <html> has "bbb" at loading. After
you click the msgbox, the second children or <body> will have different
value.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language=vbscript>

sub window_onload

msgbox document.documentElement.innerHtml

document.documentelement.children(1).innerHtml="<div>bbb</div>"

end sub

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<div>aaa</div>

</BODY>
</HTML>

OOPs I mean "aaa" by "bbb" in my earlier explanation.

Well now, nice try Han. However, editing Child(1).innerHtml, which of
course is the BODY element, is no problem. However I want to edit all
the elements in the document, even those that come before the
DocumentElement.

This of course can be done by recreating the document with edited parts
from the old document and -> REPLACE. Try this:

window.alert(document.documentElement.outerHtml)
set x=document.createElement("HTML")
document.replaceChild x,document.documentElement
window.alert(document.documentelement.outerhtml)

In other words, what I am trying to do is
create a document from a string.

The program will analyze the string and create
all the elements on the fly, complete with
attributes.

I know it can be done with a little work. I was
just wondering if anyone else had tried this???
