Hello,

I have XHTML files that represent a template, a subtemplate, and components, that I'd like to merge together into a final XHTML document.

BaseTemplate.html
-----------------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
 <title>Base Template</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
 <tr>
  <td id="subTemplateHere">Sub Template Goes Here</td>
 </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

SubTemplate.html
----------------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
 <title>Sub Template</title>
</head>
<body>
<table id="subTemplate">
 <tr>
  <td id="componentHere">Component Goes Here</td>
 </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Component.html
----------------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
 <title>Component</title>
</head>
<body>
<table id="component">
 <tr>
  <td>Final Data!</td>
 </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>


The final XHTML document I'd like would look like this:


Final.html
----------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
 <title>Base Template</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
 <tr>
  <td id="subTemplateHere"><table id="subTemplate">
 <tr>
  <td id="componentHere"><table id="component">
 <tr>
  <td>Final Data!</td>
 </tr>
</table>
</td>
 </tr>
</table>
</td>
 </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Essentially, from the base template, insert into the tree at id='subTemplateHere' the contents of the subtemplate at id='subTemplate'

Could someone lead me in the right direction as to how to do this?
