If you want to add new attribute in XML using jQuery. Let’s check how to do this using below sample xml.
<data>
<section marked="marked"></section>
</data>You can add attribute in any XML tag as you add in case of HTML. First your XML is saved in any variable like given below.
var a = '<data><section></section></data>';
a = $(a);
a.find('section').attr('marked', 'marked');
/// Above line will add an attribute in section tag.
One more example:
You will call “SetAttribute” method (given below) to add attribute in given XML. Please check below the syntax as shown below:
SetAttribute("marked", "marked",FullXmlAsString,"section" ) var SetAttribute = function (id, value, sourceXML, specificNode) {
//param :id, id of XML node.
//param : value, value of the new node.
//param :sourceXML, it is the complete XML text in which node need to be added.
//param :specificNode, it is the name of node which will get addded in above complete XML and then final text will get returned.
var test = "";
var xmlDoc = $.parseXML(sourceXML);
$xml = $(xmlDoc);
if (specificNode === undefined || specificNode === "") {
test = $xml.attr(id, value); //will add prpty at root
} else {
//var test = $xml.find('section').attr('marked', 'marked');
test = $xml.find(specificNode).attr(id, value);
}
sourceXML = test[0].outerHTML;
return sourceXML;
};
