    IXMLDOMDocumentFragment **docFrag);

Parameters

docFrag

[out]
Address of the empty IXMLDOMDocumentFragment object.

S_OK

Value returned if successful.

E_INVALIDARG

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, this method 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. You must explicitly call one of the node insert methods—insertBefore, replaceChild, or appendChild—to add the new object.

The nodeType property has the value NODE_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT.
