VBScript:
Set objXMLDoc = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
objXMLDoc.async = False
objXMLDoc.load("albums.xml")
Set Attr = objXMLDoc.createAttribute("category")
Set Text = objXMLDoc.createTextNode("Irish")
Attr.appendChild(Text)
Set Elem = objXMLDoc.documentElement.firstChild
Elem.setAttributeNode(Attr)
Set NamedNodeMap = Elem.attributes
For Each Attr In NamedNodeMap
document.write(Attr.name + ": " + Attr.value & "<br>")
NextOutput:
ref: CD142
category: IrishExplanation:
In this example we create a new 'category' attribute and assign it the value 'Irish' by appending a Text node to it. We then use the setAttributeNode method to set it into the first 'Album' element of the 'albums.xml' file. Finally we display all the element's attributes.
