[x3d-public] appendChild is not a function in X_ITE.

[John Carlson]

Note that I also try:

  <Group DEF="nodeGroup"/>
  <Group DEF="linkGroup"/>

In an .x3d file, and in an included JS script:

                        window.nodeGroup =
document.querySelector('Group[DEF="nodeGroup"]');
                        window.nodeGroup.appendChild(nodeTransform)


And window.nodeGroup is null.

So I'm really curious how to get a Group node using either DOM or SAI.

I'm doubtful of anything else but human help.
