<div>
I tested this over and over.<br />
<br />
I can get a fragment out starting with &lt;head&gt;, then the head tag's attribute and inner tags are preserved.<br />
<br />
but if I start with the &lt;html&gt; tag, then &lt;head&gt; gets the default output, discarding all the changes I made to it.<br />
<br />
you can try this yourself.<br />
<br />
&gt;&gt;That shouldn't happen. You need to copy what you need to retain<br />
Not sure what your point is.<br />
you think there is something I did wrong with the transformer? or the transformer is doing what it is supposed to be, and I need to manually modify the output?<br />
<br />
I am not sure what you are saying exactly.

I am using w3c dom to create html templates. I added some attribute to the &lt;head&gt; tag. after I apply transformer.transform(doms<wbr />ource, streamresult), the transformer removes the attributes, and in fact completely took over the inner tags of &lt;head&gt; as well. <br />
<br />
is that any way I can tightly control the &lt;head&gt; tag while generating html (xml) from the w3c dom?<br />

preserve the head element attributes in w3c dom

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
