how to create an attribute

hi,

 

i can create xml elements in designer, e.g. john brinkman's example

 

  // add question datagroup right question type

  // add question subform bind against it.

                                                  var vnewq = xfa.datasets.createnode("datagroup", "question");

                                                  vnewtype = xfa.datasets.createnode("datavalue", "questiontype");

                                                  vnewtype.value = vqdef.questiontype.value;

                                                  vnewq.nodes.append(vnewtype);

                                                  vsection.datanode.nodes.append(vnewq);

 

however, create attribute (i'm working existing predefined schema) can't seem find simple way, e.g.

 

i like

 

<question questiontype=""/>

 

how can this? tried loading xml in like

 

                                                  var vnewtype          =

                                                                                                      <question questiontype="">

                                                                                                      </question>;

 

 

                                                  xfa.data.mform.loadxml(vnewtype.tostring(), false, false);

 

but unless give child node, bombs out. work

 

 

  var vnewtype =

    <question questiontype="">

       <dummyrow/>

    </question>;

 

 

 

any worth 5 gold medals.

 

 

hi,

 

you need set contains property of datavalue 'metadata" turn attribute, can once datavalue has parent, code should like;

 

var vnewq = xfa.datasets.createnode("datagroup", "question");

vnewtype = xfa.datasets.createnode("datavalue", "questiontype");

vnewtype.value = vqdef.questiontype.value;

vnewq.nodes.append(vnewtype);

vnewtype.contains = "metadata";

vsection.datanode.nodes.append(vnewq);

 

regards
