Sorry, but an attribute can not be a child of an node! You have to use the NamedNodeMap attributes of the node.
NamedNodeMap attrs = node.getAttributes(); Though, what was previously suggested is very good too, if you have an element object. element.setAttribute( "name", "value" ); > -----Original Message----- > From: Becker, Matthias [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, February 12, 2001 09:28 > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: Append Attribute to each Element-Node > > > Hi, > > I try to append one Attribute to each Element in an document. > > If I try something like this: > > NodeList Elements = document.getElementByTagName("*"); > for (int i=0; i<Elements.getLength(); i++){ > Attr a = xmldoc.createAttribute("id"); > a.setNodeValue(i); > Elements.item(i).append.appendChild((Node) a); > } > > I get the following error. > > org.w3c.dom.DOMException: DOM006 Hierarchy request error > at org.apache.xerces.dom.ChildAndParentNode.internalInsertBefore > (ChildAndParentNode.java:379) > at org.apache.xerces.dom.ChildAndParentNode.insertBefore > (ChildAndParentNode.java:296) > at org.apache.xerces.dom.NodeImpl.appendChild > (NodeImpl.java:212) > at parsertest.<init>(parsertest.java:36) > at parsertest.main(parsertest.java:44) > Exception in thread "main" > > Where do I make the mistake?
