The project has now been updated. You could now do:
<cfscript>
attributes = StructNew();
attributes['id'] = 23
oXml.CreateElement('//[EMAIL PROTECTED]"#theId#"]', 'newelement', 'This
is some element content.', attributes);
</cfsript>
You can also now supply an xml string to either CreateElement or
Update as the value of the element (and it won't be escaped as it was
before):
<cfscript>
theContentToAdd= '<p id="foo">Hello <strong>world</strong></p>';
oXml.Update('//[EMAIL PROTECTED]"#theId#"]', theContentToAdd);
</cfscript>
