Examples

Code:

XML:



<names>


    <name>Alice</name>


    <name>Bert</name>


    <name>Charlie</name>


    <name>Diane</name>


    <name>Eric</name>


 </names>



VBScript:



Set objXMLDoc = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")


 objXMLDoc.async = False


 objXMLDoc.load("names.xml")





 Dim objCurrNode, objNewNode, objNewText


 Set objNewNode = objXMLDoc.createElement("name")


 Set objNewText = objXMLDoc.createTextNode("John")


 objNewNode.appendChild(objNewText)





 Set objCurrNode = objXMLDoc.documentElement


 objCurrNode.appendChild(objNewNode)


 Set objCurrNode = objCurrNode.lastChild


 Response.write(objCurrNode.firstChild.nodeValue)

Output:

John

Explanation:

This example first loads the 'names.xml' file. It then creates a new 'name' element and a text node with the value of 'John' which is appended to it. The new 'name' element is then appended to the document's root element, and finally the variable objCurrNode is set to the root's last child (the newly-appended 'name' element), and the value of its first child (the text node) is displayed.
