I'm just guessing that you're using the DOM and mean the appendChild()
method.  If not, you'll need to be specific about what youre doing.

If the nodes are from different documents, it's entirely reasonable to
get an exception: the DOM is specified to do so.  Some DOM
implementations are more permissive than others, but you really should
be expecting an exception if more than one document is involved.

Since you didn't tell us what exception you got, though, I can't tell
if that's what's happening.  You also didn't mention which DOM
implementation you're using.

If you need more help, you're going to need to tell us more about what
you're doing and what behaviour you're actually seeing.
