Hi all

Is there a way to append a DOM to another DOM?

Nokogiri::HTML(“

Test

”).join(Nokogiri::HTML(“

Test2

”))

Thanks  
Josh

Take a look at HTML document fragments. Sorry, I have not the doc at  
hand right now.

Yes, but it depends on the semantics you’re looking for. Can you send  
an email to the nokogiri list and include a brief description of the  
problem you’re trying to solve along with the issues you’re  
encountering?

I would appreciate it! 🙂
