Need Help Writing my XML !!!!

Here's my Flash code:

Code:

---

loginXML = new XML();
id1 = loginXML.createElement("BODY");
id1.attributes.id = "mylink";
loginXML.appendChild(id1);
loginXML.contentType = "text/xml";
loginReplyXML = new XML();
loginReplyXML.onLoad = onLoginReply;
loginXML.sendAndLoad("xmlreader.php", loginReplyXML);

---

Here's What I get when I write my XML file:

< BODY id="mylink" />

Here's What I want it to look like:

< BODY id="myVariable" >mylink< /body >




What am I doing wrong???!

Thanks in advance...

You'll want to use createTextNode for the text inside the element.

Code:

---

loginXML = new XML();
id1 = loginXML.createElement("BODY");

// do this:
text1 = loginXML.createTextNode("mylink");
id1.appendChild(text1);
// not this:
// // id1.attributes.id = "mylink";

loginXML.appendChild(id1);
...

That's not really working...? Here's my code:

Code:

---

loginXML = new XML();
id1 = loginXML.createElement("BODY");
text1 = loginXML.createTextNode("mylink");
id1.appendChild(text1);
loginXML.appendChild(id1);

---

And this is what my XML looks like:
< BODY >mylink< /BODY >

This is what I want it to look like:
< BODY id="myVariable" >mylink< /BODY >

The id="myVariable" part is an attribute of the element, which you had tried in your first sample. So here's what you want:

Code:

---

loginXML = new XML();
id1 = loginXML.createElement("BODY");
id1.attributes.id = "myVariable";
text1 = loginXML.createTextNode("mylink");
id1.appendChild(text1);
loginXML.appendChild(id1);
