DOM:Updating an element - different approaches?

[MrPeds]

Hi,

I am using DOM and VBScript to update an XML element.

My question is this, are there many approaches to updating elements?

For example, should I only use setAttribute and/or setAttributeNode functions to update the info, OR should I use cloneNode to create a new element and then replace the old element with the new one?

What are the pro's and cons of the two approaches and are there any others to consider?

Thanks,

MrPeds

The simpliest is the best don't you think so ?
By the way, cloning a node, updating its values, deleting old one and then replacing it with cloned one is a little bit CPU and memory wasting.
What I presonnally use is the setAttribut method that is wimple and fast. Water is not bad as long as it stays out human body ;-)
