Example
The following example shows how to use the
node:
// Create a new XML document.
var doc = new XML();
// Create a root node.
var rootNode = doc.createElement("rootNode");
// Create three child nodes.
var oldest = doc.createElement("oldest");
var middle = doc.createElement("middle");
var youngest = doc.createElement("youngest");
// Add the rootNode as the root of the XML document tree.
doc.appendChild(rootNode);
// Add each of the child nodes as children of rootNode.
rootNode.appendChild(oldest);
rootNode.appendChild(middle);
rootNode.appendChild(youngest);
// Create a copy of the middle node using cloneNode().
var middle2 = middle.cloneNode(false);
// Insert the clone node into rootNode between
// the middle and youngest nodes.
rootNode.insertBefore(middle2, youngest);
trace(rootNode);
// Output (with line breaks added):
// <rootNode>
// <oldest />
// <middle />
// <middle />
// <youngest />
// </rootNode>
// Create a copy of rootNode using cloneNode() to demonstrate a deep copy.
var rootClone = rootNode.cloneNode(true);
// Insert the clone, which contains all child nodes, to rootNode.
rootNode.appendChild(rootClone);
trace(rootNode);
// Output (with line breaks added):
// <rootNode>
// <oldest/>
// <middle/>
// <middle/>
// <youngest/>
