Hello Everyone, Does someone knows XMLDocuments and DOM pretty well. Well then I have a nut for you to crack: Short Form: I am implementing a little message board using XML documents. How can I create Nodes, so I can add them to the document or are there other ways to do it? The Long Form: For projects I do as living I alway keep all documentation in HTML and XML. I also have a task list, with dates and status in XML form. Now I thought it would be a good idea, if co-workers and clients could comment on some of the task descriptions or write some updates about the tasks. I thought that it would be great if this could be in the form of a small Message Board saving all the comments in the same XML file for completeness. My XML will look something like this: (There is actually more XML, but it is irrelevant to this case.) ... <task ... > <start>...</start> <end>...</end> <abstract>...</abstract> <messages> <message name="Subject"> <date>...</date> <author>...</author> <body>...</body> <replies> <message>....</message> </replies> </message> ... </messages> </task> With the help of Zope, how can I add a single message into either the 'messages' or the 'replies' not using the Zope management interface and only a programmable way. Well I thought using acquisition I prepare the addMessage method in the root folder of the XML document. Therefore I can reach it from every XML node. I also do not have to worry then about passing the URL. Now I have already the parent node for my message, making use of absolute_url() and objectValues(). And I know there is a XML function let me add another node. MY PROBLEM: I do not know how to create a node or to add one simply to the document. Is that really that hard? Thank you guys for your great help and work.
