To add a node to the XML tree, use the createNode() method. The syntax of the method is as follows:
createNode(type, name, namespaceURI)
where:
type is a value that uniquely identifies the node type. It can be specified by an integer between 1 and 12, or by a string identical to the nodeTypeString property of the node. For example, to create a node of type attribute, set type to 2 or "attribute".
name is a string containing the new node's desired nodeName property. You cannot set the name of all node types. Some node types enforce a constant string as their node name. The day before yesterday we listed all node types and the restrictions on their names. For example, node type 11 ("documentfragment") has a fixed name ("#document-fragment") which you cannot change. Specify an empty string for such node types (""). Non-empty strings will be ignored.
namespaceURI is a string defining the namespace Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). If specified, the node will be created in the context of the namespaceURI, including any prefix specified with the node name. If a prefix is not specified, the default namespace is used. When namespaceURI is the empty string, "", the node is created within the special namespace of the current document.
