Hi,

my xml file is

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<BOOK ID="BOOK">
  <METADATA>
   <BOOKTITLE>Glencoe Mathematics Applications and Concepts Part 1</BOOKTITLE>
  </METADATA>
  <BOOKSUBTITLE>Student Edition</BOOKSUBTITLE>
  <ISBN>0078600596</ISBN>
  <PUBLISHER/>
  <SUBJECT/>
  <AUTHOR/>
  <GRADE/>
</BOOK>

and I want to insert a new element into this using the following code

<%
set xmlDoc = server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument")
xmlDoc.Load(Server.Mappath("insertChild.xml"))
set root = xmlDoc.documentElement
set newElem = xmlDoc.createElement("ANUNAY")
set newNode = xmlDoc.createNode("element","ASHISH","")
Response.write newElem.nodeName + " " + newNode.nodeName + "<br>"
Set refElem = root.childNodes.item(6)
root.insertBefore newElem, refElem
Response.write refElem.nodeName
%>

but I am not able to though no error is thrown. Please suggest me the remedy.
