[jdom-interest] getElementsByTagName + insertBefore

[Dennis Sosnoski]

You can also take a look at the JDOM code sample in my IBM devWorks 
article at: 
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-injava2/?dwzone=xml. 
The sample code in that article is doing a similar operation with text 
(replacing a content text string with an element that has the text as 
content), so it gives a pretty good basis for what you want to do.
