Hi,
 
I'm extremely new to XML and I have to be honest the thing is confusing the absolute bejesus outta me. Im ok when I'm adding normal records, however, Im experiencing problems (ie I aint got a clue) when Im trying to add an attribute to the tag.
 


<skin id="1">
 
I've been trying to do this for like a day now and am going round in circles and all my searches on google are leading me to a blank. Please help guys !!!
 
Cheers

Sorry. I dont think I made it too clear. I am writing to XML with ASP using an HTML form. I can write all of the tags but I cant attributes to them. I just need to know how to do this.
 
Many thanks

Aye sure
 


' Set the ID of the record



set nodeID = indexFile.createNode(1,"emote_id","")



set nodeText = indexFile.createTextNode(idArticle+1)



nodeID.appendChild(nodeText)


 


' Set the group ID this user must be a member of to use this emote



set nodeGroupID = indexFile.createNode(1,"emote_rank","")



set nodeGroupText = indexFile.createTextNode(intMinimumRank)



nodeGroupID.appendChild(nodeGroupText)
 
Instead of it writing standard XML syntax like this:
 


<skin_database>


  <skin>


    <id>some id</id>


  </skin>


</skin_database>
 
I want it to write with the attribute in the skin tag ... like this
 


<skin_database>


  <skin id="some id">


  </skin>


</skin_database>
 
I didn't want to revert back the first way because it looks neater in the second example. I know there's a way to do it but I just don't know what that way is and its bugging me now LOL.

Check out www.w3schools.com
They have an awesome XML Tutorial. And the thing you'll be looking for is the .setAttribute function.
So Sayith the Demon.

Yeah, that was one of the first places I checked, but when I tried to use it it kept coming up with errors. I've even checked MSDN and that didn't work either. This is just too depressing LOL.
