XML DOM setAttributeNode() Method
 Complete Element Object Reference
Definition and Usage
The setAttributeNode() method adds a new attribute node.
If an attribute with that name
already exists in the element, it is replaced by the new one. If the new
attribute replaces an existing attribute, the replaced attribute node is
returned, otherwise it returns null.

x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('book');
var newatt;
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
newatt=xmlDoc.createAttribute("edition");
newatt.value="first";
x[i].setAttributeNode(newatt);
}
//Output all "edition" attribute values
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
document.write("Edition: ");
document.write(x[i].getAttribute("edition"));
document.write("<br />");
}
