I need to change an attribute located in my xml using javascript but can not seem to find how to do it.

Code: 
<html>
...
<xml id=daxml>
  <group>
     <item>
       <desc listing='123'>
     </item>
  </group>
</xml>

In the above sample, I need to change listing to 234.

Any ideas?

Nevermind, I think I figured it out.
Code: 
var myXML = document.getElementById('daxml');
var desc  = myXML.selectSingleNode("//group/item/desc");
desc.setAttribute('listing','234');
