    copied!<p>I am trying to update a child node of an XML file IE Changing the value.</p> <p>The XML file looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;user&gt; &lt;firstname&gt;Andre&lt;/firstname&gt; &lt;lastname&gt;Bruton&lt;/lastname&gt; &lt;/user&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is my Classic asp code: </p> <pre><code>users_firstname = "Tristan" ''# New code to put in the XML file Set xmlObj = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument") xmlObj.async = False xmlObj.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", True xmlObj.Load(cURL) If xmlObj.parseError.errorCode &lt;&gt; 0 Then Response.Write "Error Reading File - " &amp; xmlObj.parseError.reason &amp; "&lt;p&gt;" End If Set xmlList = xmlObj.getElementsByTagName("user") For Each xmlItem In xmlList For Each xmlItem2 In xmlItem.childNodes a = xmlItem2.nodeName if a = "firstname" then firstname = xmlItem2.text if a = "lastname" then lastname = xmlItem2.text Next Next If firstname &lt;&gt; users_firstname Then Set nodeBook = xmlObj.selectSingleNode("//firstname") nodeBook.setAttribute "firstname", users_firstname Response.Write nodeBook.getAttribute("firstname") xmlObj.save(cDir &amp; cFile) End If Set xmlObj = Nothing </code></pre> <p>The problem is that it adds a new section to the XML file instead of updating the value of firstname from Andre to Tristan. The XML looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;user&gt; &lt;firstname firstname="Andre6"&gt;Andre&lt;/firstname&gt; &lt;lastname&gt;Bruton&lt;/lastname&gt; &lt;/user&gt; </code></pre> <p>What is should look like is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;user&gt; &lt;firstname&gt;Tristan&lt;/firstname&gt; &lt;lastname&gt;Bruton&lt;/lastname&gt; &lt;/user&gt; </code></pre> <p>Any idea how I can fix this?</p>
