I want to achieve the below structure using javascript.

The code i m using to achieve the above structure is as follows,

<script language="JavaScript">
function genofflineXML()
{
                    xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
                    xmlDoc.async = false
                    xmlDoc.load("xml.xml")
                    alert(xmlDoc.xml)
                    var secChildArr = new Array()
                    nodeList = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Root")
                    rootNode = nodeList(0)

                    if (rootNode.hasChildNodes)
                      {
                         firstChild = rootNode.firstChild

                             if (firstChild.hasChildNodes)
                              {
                                  secondChild = firstChild.firstChild

                                   if(secondChild.hasChildNodes)
                                    {
                                          secondChildLen = secondChild.childNodes.length


                                        for(i=0;i<secondChildLen;i++)
                                        {
                                          secChildArr[i] = secondChild.childNodes[i].nodeName
                                         }
                                      }

                                }

                       }


                           if(nodeList.length>0)
                               {
                                   var dataNode = xmlDoc.createElement("data")
                                   var formDataNode = xmlDoc.createElement("formData")

                                   var secArrLen = secChildArr.length

                                   for(k=0;k<secArrLen;k++)
                                    {
                                          var dataNodeNames = secChildArr[k] + "node"
                                       var dataNodeText = k

                                       dataNodeNames = xmlDoc.createElement(secChildArr[k])
                                     dataNodeNames.text = dataNodeText

                                     formDataNode.appendChild(dataNodeNames)

                                       var filePath = "xml.xml"



                                  }




                                  firstChildList = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("forms")

                                  if(firstChildList.length>0)
                                  {
                                        firstChild.appendChild(dataNode)
                                        dataNodeList = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("data")
                                      dataNode.appendChild(formDataNode)
                                  }




                           }

                                xmlDoc.save(filePath)
}
</script>


If possible please lemme know the glitch. I am not able to set a condition where the childnode can be appended to the data node.

Are you trying to convert the first xml to the second? Life would be much simpler with an XSLT transformation.

Another point is that in general the style of elements you are using is very difficult to process, you would be better off using attributes, change this: to something like: I'd pick something more meaningful than item but I don't know what you are trying to represent :)

Hi,
  Well thanx for trying to help me out. But i guess i have not been able to express or document my problem very well, so i would like to apologize for that.

<root>
 <forms>
  <structure>
   <Col541_Row_543/>
  </structure>
 </forms>
</root>

please refer to structure one of my prev. post. this is what i have got as my source and what i load when loading my xml data.

<root>
 <forms>
  <structure>
   <Col541_Row_543/>
  </structure>

  <data>
    <formData id="1">
      <Col541_Row_543/>acd</Col541_Row_543>
    </formData>



    <formData id="2">
      <Col541_Row_543/>acd</Col541_Row_543>
    </formData>

  </data>
</forms>
</root>


Please refer to my structure one in the prev. post as to see what i am getting. But i want to achieve the above structure and i have also posted my Javascript code.
Once loaded i need to do the following
