Hi Michel,
Thank you very much for pointing that, now its clear why it
wasn't updating. But can you give me some idea on how I can achieve
this functionality. I just want to manipulate the xml at client side
using jquery and finally send it back to the server as string. I was
trying with append() and replaceWith() function in vain!! :(
I would like to do it with Jquery because i need some browser
compatibility. Is this really possible with jquery?
Thanks for your time
karthick
