Adding properties to custom tags

[davikokar]

Hallo,

in my webpage I have a construct more or less like this:

<xml>
<menuitem class="blabl" id="001" />
<menuitem class="blabl" id="002" />
<menuitem class="blabl" id="003" />
</xml>

The menuitem is not part of the html DOM (I think...), but I was wondering if I can access the menuitem tag by using javascript, and add a property, so that I would have (for example):

<xml>
<menuitem class="blabl" id="001" target="_blank" />
<menuitem class="blabl" id="002" />
<menuitem class="blabl" id="003" />
</xml>

the document.getElementById() doesn't seem to work with those menuitem tags. Do you have a suggestion?

thanks

Within the xml as container, you have better to include a well-formed xml document - not just an xml fragment, if you see what I mean. This is what You should structure the data island.

<xml> <!-- with an id or not -->
<root> <!-- whatever name you want to give it -->
<menuitem class="blabl" id="001" />
<menuitem class="blabl" id="002" />
<menuitem class="blabl" id="003" />
</root>
</xml>

If not, you are asking for trouble.
