    <p>I'm using the following python code to search for a node in an XML file and changing the value of an attribute of one of it's children.Changes are happening correctly when the node is displayed using toxml().But, when it is written to a file, the attributes rearrange themselves(as seen in the Source and the Final XML below). Could anyone explain how and why this happen? Python code:</p> <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/env python import xml from xml.dom.minidom import parse dom=parse("max.xml") #print "Please enter the store name:" for sku in dom.getElementsByTagName("node"): if sku.getAttribute("name") == "store": sku.childNodes[1].childNodes[5].setAttribute("value","Delhi,India") print sku.toxml() xml.dom.ext.PrettyPrint(dom, open("new.xml", "w")) </code></pre> <p>a part of the Source XML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;node name='store' node_id='515' module='mpx.lib.node.simple_value.SimpleValue' config_builder='' inherant='false' description='Configurable Value'&gt; &lt;match&gt; &lt;property name='1' value='point'/&gt; &lt;property name='2' value='0'/&gt; &lt;property name='val' value='Store# 09204 Staten Island, NY'/&gt; &lt;property name='3' value='str'/&gt; &lt;/match&gt; &lt;/node&gt; </code></pre> <p>Final XML :</p> <pre><code>&lt;node config_builder="" description="Configurable Value" inherant="false" module="mpx.lib.node.simple_value.SimpleValue" name="store" node_id="515"&gt; &lt;match&gt; &lt;property name="1" value="point"/&gt; &lt;property name="2" value="0"/&gt; &lt;property name="val" value="Delhi,India"/&gt; &lt;property name="3" value="str"/&gt; &lt;/match&gt; &lt;/node&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
