Hello, If you want to create a node to a DOM Document, then you must need to use the code below and add it to your program:

Code:

Document document = createDomDocument(); 
Element ele = document.createElement("root"); 
document.appendChild(ele); 
Domment cmnt = document.createDomment("Comment"); 
document.insertBefore(cmnt, ele); 
ele.appendChild(document.createTextNode("First")); 
ele.insertBefore(document.createTextNode("Second"), ele.getFirstChild()); 
ele.insertBefore(document.createTextNode("Third"), ele.getLastChild()); 
Element ele2 = document.createElement("item"); 
ele.insertBefore(ele2, ele.getFirstChild().getNextSibling()); 
ele2.getParentNode().insertBefore(document.createTextNode("B"), ele2);

If you consider the source code below then you will come to know that the method appendChild() is used for the addign a node to a DOM document. So, just make use of it.

Code:

xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("Techarena.xml");

newelement=xmlDoc.createElement("Website");

test=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Techarena")[0];
test.appendChild(newelement);

Hey, I have got the javascript below which will simply append the Node to the Document and provide you solution for your problem.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function Adding(what){
if (doc.createTextNode){
var mytext=doc.createTextNode(what)
doc.getElementById("mydiv").appendChild(mytext)
}
}
</script>
<div id="mydiv" onClick="Adding(' Text will be added')" style="font:25px bold; cursor:hand">Test It</div>

Here, you must need to know the some of the details of the terms below:

Node: It is a reference for the element or attribute or text.
Element: Element is a presentation of a <TAG>.
Attribute: A element posses some of the property which is termed as a Attribute.
